Our exclusive relationships with The University of Sheffield and Cardiff University provide us with some of the UK’s most exceptional research and IP. Over the life of the agreements these institutions will be investing over £2billion into R&D over the next decade, R&D that we own the rights to commercialise.
In collaboration with University’s existing technology transfer operations, we identify emerging opportunities for investment. We then commercialise this IP either through the formation of spin-out companies or by licensing, in which we have majority equity participation. With both universities, we initially own 100% equity in the portfolio companies we establish and allocate an appropriate percentage to the academics involved on incorporation.
