University of Birmingham Enterprise
University of Birmingham Enterprise supports academics who want to take their ideas to market, work with businesses and social enterprises, or do academic consultancy projects. We do this by providing enterprise training, funding, office and laboratory space and a full technology transfer service. The University prides itself on producing research that is purposeful, pragmatic and pioneering. This is evidenced in the number of patents filed each year, their development into viable technologies that are available for licensing, and the legacy of products, services and advice that have benefitted our commercial partners. We also establish spinout companies: University start-up companies focussed on the commercialisation of innovative technologies invented at the University. We also manage a portfolio of 35 spinouts, which have attracted more than £100m investment in the last 10 years, and we are continually looking for management talent that will help take the new generation of spinouts to even greater success. University of Birmingham Enterprise also runs services and facilities at the Birmingham Research Park, and these include the BioHub Birmingham, a biomedical incubator and accelerator, and the University’s business incubator, the BizzInn. Finally, we run enterprise training for academics and Midlands-based entrepreneurs.
