IXC® Clients

So who is the typical IXC® client?  IXC clients include large, multi-national businesses, small hi-tech start-ups, universities, research institutes, technology transfer companies, business incubators and business support networks

The single defining factor, common to all IXC's clients, is each organization's realization that twenty-first century innovation is a contact sport in which collaboration is essential.

And, whilst complete confidentiality is the absolute right of each of IXC's clients, some find their public association with the IXC concept brings added rewards and connections.

These include global giants such as Jaguar Land Rover, ResMed, Fonterra, Johnson & Johnson Research and Cochlear.  Smaller technology firms representative of IXC's broad client base include Teer Coatings, Applimex Systems and Geotechnical Instruments. 

The public and academic sector is also well represented.  Major research institutes including Food Science Australia and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne feature in IXC's client base, as do a range of universities including the Australian National University and Birmingham, Nottingham, Northumbria, Loughborough and Wolverhampton in the UK.

IXC UK's extensive networks are further strengthened through its numerous working relationships with technology networks such as St John's Innovation Centre in Cambridge, RTC North and CLIK Knowledge Transfer Limited, the commercial exploitation arm of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories in Oxfordshire.

One thing you can be sure of is unparalleled access, through IXC's far-reaching international networks, to the ideas, technologies and processes necessary to drive your business forward.


IXC provides us with an auxiliary channel of opportunities, that by its very design, generates pre-filtered, highly qualified leads.... Put simply, IXC overcomes the shyness that can be there when two companies first meet

A less tangible but still valuable contribution from the intermediary service has been its ability to open networks with potential partners beyond the usual business development boundaries
