The Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) is a world-leading facility dedicated to accelerating the commercialisation of graphene and other advanced 2D materials. At GEIC, we collaborate across a broad spectrum of applications including energy storage, electronics, composites, coatings, sensors, and sustainable technologies—helping industry partners transform cutting-edge research into real-world solutions.

Our industry-led, academic-fed approach reflects the University of Manchester’s “Manchester Model,” combining rapid prototyping, collaborative R&D, and access to specialist expertise within our ecosystem. This enables our industry partners to de-risk innovation and shorten time-to-market. With pilot-scale manufacturing capabilities on-site, we bridge the gap between laboratory development and industrial production, delivering scalable, cost-effective pathways for integrating advanced materials into commercial products.
