The University of Sussex Business School has concluded a new civic partnership agreement with Datacove, a Brighton based technology company specialising in data driven solutions.
The partnership has a shared commitment to business analytics and data intelligence and builds on existing academic–industry links led by Dr Maria Restuccia and Professor Sambit Bhattacharyya from the University of Sussex Business School. Through this agreement, both organisations will explore opportunities to collaborate across education, academic research, and community engagement.
Planned areas of cooperation include research projects designed to inform policy and professional practice, with opportunities for involvement from University of Sussex staff and students. The partnership will also support student and staff participation in the design, delivery, and review of Datacove activities and events, alongside joint initiatives aimed at enriching community life across Brighton and Sussex.
Datacove’s mission closely aligns with the University’s civic and educational values. The company focuses on helping organisations solve complex, real-world problems using data, applying expertise in mathematics, statistics, and technology to develop tailored solutions. Datacove is also strongly committed to knowledge sharing, delivering bespoke training and free learning resources aimed at developing future data analysts.
This partnership brings together academic insight, industry expertise, and civic purpose, creating valuable opportunities for research, student engagement, and impact beyond the University.
