As the University of Southampton’s on-campus start-up accelerator, our goal at Future Worlds is to help researchers and students transform their ideas into globally scalable and impactful tech startups providing them with the tools, skills, and enabling environment they need to become successful founders.
University “spinouts” – companies created to commercialise scientific and technological breakthroughs developed by students and researchers – are big business. According to a recent report, equity investment in spinouts increased more than fivefold – from £405 million to £2.54 billion – in the decade to 2021.
