We have an impressive track record in creating innovative, growth-based spin-out companies.
We do this by closely supporting our academics and researchers to convert their novel research into a commercially exploitable product or service. We actively support all ideas through a stage-gate panel process.
Leaders in Innovation
Edinburgh Napier University has been named 6th out of all Scottish Universities and ranked 42 overall in the UK for its record in turning research into world-changing companies.
The “Spinning out Success” report, produced by Octopus Ventures, provides an “Entrepreneurial Impact Ranking” (EIR) for the top 100 Universities based on number of disclosures, patents, spinouts created, and subsequent financial transactions in relation to the funding received by the institution from 2009 to 2019.
