The commercialisation team helps the University of Bristol achieve real-world impact through executing licencing deals and forming spin-out companies.

Why commercialise?

Our team works with leading researchers and academics across a broad range of science and technology across all departments at the University of Bristol.

We have commercialised technologies in a range of diverse fields and are highly experienced, having conducted numerous licence and commercialisation deals over the years, with businesses ranging from start-ups through manufacturing SMEs to major industry players.

We seek to protect intellectual property for Bristol technologies.

We welcome enquiries from companies interested in taking a licence on technology developed at Bristol. We also welcome general enquiries from companies interested in alternative ways of working together.
