From a secure foundation of licensing, spinout formation and consultancy business, new initiatives this year included Innovation Challenge competitions in the Humanities Division to broaden our support across all disciplines in the University, crowdfunding campaigns as a means of supporting innovations not suited to, or eligible for, traditional translational funding, and the launch of LAB282 – a programme combining funding and industry expertise to accelerate drug discovery.

OUI continues to develop its services to enable the University community to maximise the global impact of Oxford’s research and expertise.
