The US Ivy League institution has had some recent successful exits of life science spinouts.

The US academic institution is one of a growing number of universities in the country to set up funds to finance companies based on academic research.

The Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, an incubator for IIT Bombay, formed the fund to fill a gap in investment for early-stage deep tech.

The founders of University2Ventures previously headed the pre-seed fund that was part of European VC Earlybird.

The new fund will support research that the university says drives solutions to complex societal and economic challenges.

Taiwan's oldest university has tapped graduates to invest in its first investment fund.

The fund, managed by an outside investment firm, has backed 10 companies so far.

The new policy gives researchers more rights over the commercialisation of their inventions.

Siro Perez helped set up the biotech startup while he was partner at IP Group in Australia.

Alastair Hick, who has spent almost the past two decades in commercialisation roles at Monash University, will take over from Peter Devine in December.
