The Royal College of Art, the only wholly postgraduate art and design college in the world, has a rich history of innovation: many products now in everyday use started as RCA graduate projects and many RCA graduates have emerged as leading innovators in their field.

InnovationRCA is the Royal College of Art’s network for business. Our aim is to help external organisations of all kinds to innovate by introducing new knowledge, ideas and artefacts from the multi-disciplinary community of designers, artists and researchers at the College.

InnovationRCA meets the RCA’s Royal Charter commitment to collaborate with industry and commerce.

We provide a coordinated range of innovation capability services for business that draws on the expertise and knowledge of RCA departments, research centres, students and staff.

We manage a portfolio of Intellectual Property expertly developed from innovations created within the RCA that can be licensed to industry and commercially exploited in other ways.

And we lead on strategic projects at the Royal College of Art in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship, providing enhanced levels of professional support for RCA graduates and alumni.

InnovationRCA’s knowledge transfer programmes enable the College’s business partners and graduates to innovate more effectively. Talk to the InnovationRCA team: email innovation@rca.ac.uk or phone +44 (0)20 7590 4249.
