What they do
Their core work

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
SME innovation management delivery
Recent focus
SME innovation management delivery
Exemplas shows remarkable consistency rather than evolution — all four projects (2015–2021) are successive phases of the same ENIW programme delivering identical SME innovation support services. The early and recent keyword sets are effectively identical, covering innovation management, growth, scale-up, commercialisation, and internationalisation. This indicates a stable, specialised delivery role rather than an organisation exploring new research frontiers.
Exemplas is a steady-state service delivery organisation — expect the same SME support competencies in future collaborations, not research or technology development.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: active_partnerReach: regional1 countries collaborated
Exemplas has participated exclusively as a partner, never leading a consortium, across all four projects. With only 21 unique partners and collaboration limited to a single country, they operate within a stable, UK-focused delivery network. This profile suggests a reliable implementation partner for nationally scoped SME support programmes rather than an organisation that builds or leads international consortia.
Their network spans 21 unique partners but is geographically concentrated in a single country (UK), reflecting their role as a regional delivery body within a national SME support programme.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
Exemplas brings deep operational experience in delivering publicly funded SME innovation support at scale across multiple UK regions. Their value lies not in research or technology development but in the practical mechanics of business growth services — account management, market connections, and commercialisation support. For consortium builders needing a UK-based partner with proven capacity to reach and serve SMEs, they offer a ready-made delivery infrastructure.
