Centre for Antenna and Communication Technology Innovation (CACTI)
The MK:U Innovation Hub aims to be one of the UK leaders for smart-cities-focused communications research.
The centre is equipped with all the tools to develop and test leading communications technologies. This facility supports businesses to make the best use of this equipment and apply it to their innovations.
"It is very rare I am speechless in the provision of support for start-ups in England but I had the honour of being shown around the new MK:U Innovation Hub and I was indeed lost for words.
I truly believe this hub will help those with ideas bring them to life and ensure the UK remains at the forefront of innovation in the future."
