Professor Philip Moore, Head of Research and Commercial Development for the Faculty of Computing Sciences and Engineering, said: "Collaboration with industrial and commercial partners plays an increasingly important role in research with almost all our research projects being collaborative".
"This event is an invaluable opportunity for businesses and public sector organisations to learn about the University's computing, engineering and technology research expertise".
Professor Adrian Hopgood, Dean of the Faculty, added: "We are very pleased to be opening the faculty's doors to business representatives to allow them to find out more about some of the leading-edge work carried out here".
"There are many fascinating demonstrations, tours and presentations taking place on the day that visitors should find both interesting and informative".
DMU has a strong track record in working with businesses, enabling them to benefit from its expertise.
DMU's five faculties have successful partnerships with companies in areas as diverse as manufacturing, electronics, software engineering, banking, fashion, journalism and retail.
In November 2006, the University launched its New Product Development Centre, which aims to help improve the performance of small and medium sized businesses across Leicestershire by offering free design advice and assistance.
