The Smith Institute

The Smith Institute for Industrial Mathematics and System Engineering provides system-level thinking underpinned by the mathematical sciences, combining academic excellence with business understanding. We enable companies to improve their products, processes, services and business strategy through the application of cutting-edge mathematical thinking.

We help companies capitalise on their investment in technology, research and innovation. Companies and organisations come to us for help to address difficult challenges - those which compromise their business.

The Smith Institute works closely with organisations to understand their requirements and then provide consultancy and training in mathematics and statistics to bring fresh results and insights that can be rapidly embedded in the wider business environment. We create bespoke solutions to commercial, technical and strategic problems, which will be fully aligned with your business needs.

The Institute is an independent company, established in 1997. We undertake commercial work and grant-funded work in the public and private sectors. Our experienced technical staff apply powerful techniques in ways that deliver a rapid competitive edge to our clients. We can also provide extensive links to academics when appropriate.
