Leading partners: up to three company groups with the most joint works in the sector. State-owned enterprises are marked; a partner whose name is withheld is not listed.
Funded partnerships (reported, not scored). 854 UK and EU projects starting 2021 to 2025 (327 UKRI, 527 Horizon) involve a cohort university and a company group whose main sector, by its verified joint works, is this one (392 universities): most often Électricité de France, E3-Modelling, Siemens Energy, ABB [group I885143765], National Grid. Sources: UKRI Gateway to Research harvested 4 Oct 2026; CORDIS bulk files of 2026-10-12 (latest record update 2026-06-10). Funded partnerships cover UK (UKRI Gateway to Research) and EU (Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, CORDIS) projects starting 2021 to 2025 only. They are reported, never scored, and a funder record outside these two sources is not visible here.
