ASTUTE Video Case Studies

Three-Sixty Aquaculture Ltd.

"As a company we’ve benefitted greatly from the experience that the ASTUTE team was able to bring. Working with ASTUTE has allowed us to accelerate the R&D that we couldn’t carry out in-house. That then leads on to further innovations and takes the company down a different path that we probably wouldn’t have been able to do without the ASTUTE project."

British Rototherm Company Ltd.

"So the reason for working with ASTUTE 2020, is they have a significant amount of technical capability, they have access to programs, and software and resources that a company such as Rototherm doesn’t have. They can help to provide confidence to take something that you wouldn’t have gone forward with."

TWI Ltd.

"There have been several benefits and key to all of this has been really the working relationship that has been developed between TWI and two of Wales’ top universities. The advances that we have been able to make in the nozzle design has removed significant barriers to the advancement of the Intacom program and consequently, we have been able to generate two high-quality jobs directly as a result of this intervention."
