Sources of Assistance
Isis Innovation Limited
Isis Innovation is experienced in both the commercialisation of intellectual property and the establishment of spin-out companies based on Oxford University research. The objective of all of the Funds is to assist the commercialisation of research. Isis Innovation is responsible for identifying and evaluating potential Fund investments.
If you wish to discuss your research and the Funds, please contact Isis Innovation. There is no substitute for talking to someone who has the relevant experience to provide you with specific advice relating to your circumstances. This may lead to an application for funding from the Funds or to assistance in accessing other sources of funding.
Our Approach
Our approach is to unlock the commercial potential of the University by working alongside researchers. We have expertise, based on long experience, in assessing and managing the exploitation of intellectual property and establishing spin-out companies.
By co-ordinating input from researchers, the Investment Advisory Committee and the Isis Project Manager, we are looking to form a judgement on the best route for commercialisation. This can involve evaluating the intellectual property, market opportunities, management ability etc. We aim to be creative and supportive advisors/project managers with an active and involved approach to working with researchers. Through these Funds, we also now intend to be supportive investors in development projects and start-up companies.
