Enterprise Fellow, Royce Hydrogen Accelerator

Adam Robinson is a physicist and materials scientist with over 20 years’ experience working in academia and industry. He operates at the interface of academia and industry to help take research ideas and inventions into the world via commercialisation and investment.

He works currently at the Royce Hydrogen Accelerator (RHA) to tackle materials challenges which are constraining the hydrogen supply chain. Adam finds early stage technologies across academia and industry and build investment opportunities.

He previously worked at Cambridge Enterprise as a Commercialisation Manager for Physical Sciences where I helped academics form spin-out companies, commercialise and licence early stage technologies. He also previously worked as Head of Research Programme and CIH Programme Lead for the Centre for Digital Built Britain at the University of Cambridge where I managed CDBB's academic and industrial research portfolios and lead the centre's contribution to the £72m Construction Innovation Hub.

Prior to that he worked as Beko R&D’s Senior Specialist in Materials Science, seeking and investigating new technologies across a range of topics to develop the next generation of appliances. He scouted for technologies, created and managed research projects with academic and start-up partners and generated new product ideas. I also previously worked as a Senior Engineer at Nokia’s research centre in Cambridge, where I created and developed novel technologies for future products generating new IP.
