Complete Royal Academy of Engineering’s Call for Evidence – Spinning Out
Since launching in 2013, the Royal Academy of Engineering’s Enterprise Hub has supported the UK’s brightest engineering and technology entrepreneurs to help them realise their potential. We do so by providing both financial support and exceptional connections to the nation’s best engineering minds.
The Academy has engaged in policy work on IP and commercialisation since our inception and now aims to produce a guide for academic entrepreneurs who wish to commercialise their research through spinning out. We want this guide to be neutral and balanced, ensuring all engaged parties have the opportunity to provide input and articulate their unique perspectives on the process. We are interested in understanding motivations behind each stakeholder’s engagement in the spinout journey, hearing insightful lessons that have been learned, reading case studies, and seeking to comprehend bottlenecks and barriers. We are therefore currently gathering evidence through our call for evidence linked below:
If you are an entrepreneur, an academic who has sought or seeks to spin out, if you work in knowledge exchange or a technology transfer office (TTO) for a university or are an investor, we want to hear from you.
