We nurture close connections and strong working relationships with a broad range of stakeholders in the wider Cambridge ecosystem in order to support start-ups and spin-outs.

Our services for external organisations

We act as a bridge between the expertise and disruptive research emerging from the University and our immediate business environment to help transfer innovative technologies and knowledge to businesses. This bedrock of entrepreneurial activity in turn creates a solid foundation for our wider outreach work throughout the UK and internationally. Our services for external organisations include licensing and investment opportunities, facilitating academic consultancy services and international outreach.
