Launched in May 2016, Graphene Enabled
Systems Ltd, a wholly-owned University
of Manchester subsidiary, has been busy
building its business capability and working
towards its mission of creating a cluster
of profitable spin-out businesses or joint-
venture businesses based on the University's
Graphene patent portfolio and scientific
know-how.
The company carries out analyses of
selected graphene portfolio technologies
and their associated IP, researches and
characterises target markets, clearly defines
competitive advantage and prepares
financial and operational plans.
Having identified an opportunity capable
of generating a spin-out or joint-venture
business, Graphene Enabled builds a high-
quality product demonstrator supported by
a robust business plan. Graphene Enabled
also works with sources of investment
capital to provide early-stage seed funding
for the spin-out or joint venture.
In December 2017, Graphene Enabled
launched its first spin-out company, Atomic
Mechanics Ltd. The business's core activity
is the design, development, manufacture
and sale of a range of proprietary sensors
and actuation devices based on graphene-
polymer membranes.
