The EiT scheme invites
entrepreneurs to work with us
to explore the best ways in
which to engage with the
commercial market and validate
the appeal of early-stage
technologies. Creative
innovation teams are formed
between our leading academics
and external entrepreneurs and
businesses at a much earlier
stage than our standard process.
This allows us to respond to the
needs of the market in an agile
manner and direct our
innovations for more
successful commercialisation.
HiSolar Ltd and TellUs Toolkit Ltd
have successfully been through
the EiT Scheme and we look
forward to monitoring the
progress of these new spin-outs
as they move into their
market sectors.
Are you an individual with the
relevant expertise to partner
with our academics and use
your entrepreneurial flair to
enhance technology
commercialisation outputs?
Would you like to engage with
a world-class research
institution and be a UMIP
Entrepreneur-in-Transit?
