If you need any further proof – after our five-year data review in May and biannual analysis last month – that technology transfer in the UK is in terrific shape, look no further than University of Oxford’s tech transfer office, Oxford University Innovation (OUI), unveiling figures last week that show its spinouts have collectively raised £506m ($655m) in funding over the past 12 months alone.

A new $35m fund will be managed by external venture studio High Alpha Innovation and will work with the university on creating new startups.
Global University Venturing (GUV) is where tech transfer, academic and investment experts meet to explore the latest ideas and technologies driving innovation forward. We drive the discussions and share best practices that are critical to the success of spinouts, scaleouts and innovation programmes. Our aim is to help improve the processes of bringing innovations from academia to global markets and facilitate their integration into the broader business ecosystem.
