We're committed to helping members of our UEA community turn transformative research into thriving spinout companies.
We've guided our brightest thinkers on the road to business success by providing startup funding, introducing them to networks and funders, and giving them access to great facilities.
More than 100 patents have already been filed for inventions developed from UEA research. We've seen and celebrated the rise of many spinouts who provide innovative services in key areas including nanotechnology, weather analysis and treating infectious diseases.
