Solent University is committed to adopting the best practices from the Independent Review of University Spin-out Companies. We fully support the Review's recommendations and are dedicated to enhancing our commercialisation approach through spin-outs, as outlined in the Review.
Our growing commercialisation portfolio is therefore designed to:
- Align our spin-out pipeline processes with the best practice guidelines from the Review and the University Spinout Investment Terms (USIT) Guide.
- Ensure fair and beneficial equity stakes for the University and founders for each new venture.
- Transparently communicate spin-out processes to researchers across all disciplines, encouraging practical application and impactful research.
- Consistently consider spin-outs as a viable option for utilising University intellectual property.
The independent review, led by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and HM Treasury, offers essential recommendations to boost the creation and growth of university spin-out companies, aiming to make the UK a global leader in commercialising university research.
We therefore recognise the USIT Guide's value in improving spin-out efficiency and speed and are committed to undertaking a thorough review of our practices in this field and we are committed to continuously refining our processes to align with these guidelines.
