We at Mon Naturals were really impressed with CPE and their project capabilities. After initially agreeing to a possible collaboration with the CPE Team, a project was put in place and up and running in no time. This process was efficient and allowed the focus to be on the project rather than the paperwork. From the start this has been a positive experience and I can only thank the team for their professionalism.
CPE is a multi – academic, industrial collaborative research partnership.
CPE is funded by the European Regional Development Fund & Welsh Government to support and provide technical solutions to businesses in Wales with their manufacturing processes and their potential product innovations through the application of photonics technology.

How it works
- We will have an introductory meeting to introduce CPE and to discuss your business and how we could work together.
- Our technical team will then work with you to discuss in more detail any potential collaborations and put together a project plan.
- Eligible collaborations must involve a company who has a business address within the West Wales and the Valleys region, and must plan to impact business growth and development.
- As soon as both parties agree a project plan, work can begin.
- There is no cash cost to the company. Projects are to be matched in-kind by the industrial partner in staff costs.
What is CPE and how is it relevant to Welsh Businesses?
Watch our BDM Hazel Hung’s webinar for a general overview and case studies of the CPE program.
What is the cost to you?
There is no cash cost to the company,
only matched contribution, such as staff costs evidenced by timesheets.
We work with you in matched effort and resource to develop or solve the processes, products or systems you need.
The academic expertise is funded by the project to be matched in kind by the industrial partnership.
