Academia

Working with academia has transformed our skills, expertise and insight into the technology horizon, as well as supports the development of our two products.

The University of Leicester’s expertise in leveraging Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques is being deployed to support the development of Fishbone’s first two products – Readiness and FISH – through SPRINT and Innovate UK funding. This collaboration accelerates the product development and allows Fishbone to enter the market 9-to-12 months faster than would otherwise be possible.

Since the birth of Fishbone Solutions, The University of Derby have supported Fishbone with a number of business support services including managed offices and business growth support through the ENSCITE initiatives. Fishbone are proud to support many of the University’s round-table and strategy development initiatives with Derby-based businesses.

Not-for-profit Collaboration

Bike Tours for the Wounded is a not-for-profit organisation that supports wounded veterans from the military services, and servicemen and woman with disabilities, sickness, injuries or PTSD through organised bike tours. Fishbone works alongside Bike Tours to help Network Rail appraise the accessibility of stations, platforms and trains for people with reduced mobility.
