Delivering a successful spinout
This event will draw on participants’
experiences to provide practical guidance on
how universities, entrepreneurs, and investors
can work together to develop successful
spinout ventures.
Universities are economic engines driving innovation and
entrepreneurship. The UK has a reputation for innovation, and
spinouts from universities play a hugely important role in economic
development. Whilst they can provide great reward when delivered
effectively, the road to a successful spinout can be long and not
without its challenges. At a time of increasing uncertainty around
Brexit and the availability of funding, the importance of getting the set
up and delivery right has never been so crucial.
