At DPI, we believe that pre-competitive fundamental research in polymers is essential to solving the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. By fostering collaboration between industrial frontrunners, leading academic groups, and policymakers, we create a platform where shared knowledge and co-steered research drive scientific breakthroughs and practical innovations.

Our network is built on the principle that efficiency comes from working together. By pooling resources, expertise, and ideas, our partners not only accelerate their innovation but also reduce costs and mitigate risks. DPI’s programmes bridge the gap between fundamental science and industrial impact, ensuring that cutting-edge, pre-competitive research leads to real-world applications.
