The partnership should encourage more undergraduate and post-graduate industry placements, assist the METS industry to employ the best and brightest STEM graduates, and support increased research partnerships. 

The MOU acknowledges a gap in connecting industry with research results and supports the METS Ignited mandate to foster greater collaboration to accelerate commercialisation of innovation.
