The UK has long been a leader in commercialising research, but this has declined over the last 10 years. One contributing factor is that UK universities typically take around a 16% equity stake in spinouts - more than double the average in the US and EU. This higher stake can deter founders and investors alike.
More universities could also benefit from fostering industry and start-up ecosystems similar to Cambridge's Silicon Fen, where close collaboration between academia and enterprise drives innovation. This is especially critical in fast-moving fields like AI. For example, ECI partnered with Manchester Business School to explore new models to support its proprietary AI platform, AmplifindTM."
