Universities


We encourage graduates to diverge from traditional career paths by starting a business through working with academic institutions that actively support spin-outs.

UCL

Enterprise lays at the foundation of everything UCL does. One of the world’s leading engineering and physical sciences institutions, University College London actively promote the commercialisation of technological discovery.

Tech City UK are proud to work with UCL and their key technology transfer body, UCL Enterprise, which provides structure for researchers engaging with business for commercial and societal benefit. 

The three units of UCL Enterprise are UCL Advances, UCL Business and UCL Consultants and together they provide access to the capabilities and resources of the UCL community to help businesses start, grow and develop.

Imperial College London has a world-leading reputation for scientific discovery and commercialisation – and they know a thing or two about digital technology too.

Tech City UK works closely with the University and Imperial Innovations, the university’s technology transfer agency.

 Imperial Innovations are all about nurturing new ideas – the company currently supports 31 spinouts (and invests up to £121m in portfolio companies since its 2006 IPO). 

When it comes to encouraging entrepreneurship, protecting the ideas of a small business and bridging the academic-industry divide, they’re a worthy partner in the Tech City UK project.
