Spin-out and Spin-in Opportunities for Business
Aberystwyth University supports staff who wish to develop their research outputs into commercial ventures. The university encourages future entrepreneurs and the establishment of new businesses as a means of generating a route to market for university intellectual property because of the significant benefits to the university, its staff, to Wales and further afield.
Research, Business & Innovation works with academic staff to:
- Identify valuable and impactful intellectual property
- Assess the commercial potential of a future product or service
- Support the development of robust business plans
- Assist in fund raising and networking
Our Technology Transfer team works with a Commercial Advisory Panel, made up of industry and government experts, to review business ideas and mentor staff towards sound business planning and fundraising.
