Science and innovation are driving a global technology revolution, with R&D spending on the rise and the UK’s world-leading universities at the forefront. Over the past 20 years, the UK has successfully produced a growing pool of highly impactful university spin-out companies that are solving major global challenges in areas such as genetic medicine, nuclear fusion and quantum computing. Yet many of these companies require long-term strategic capital to reach their full potential. With other countries starting to replicate this model, how do we evolve our industry approach to harness the potential returns from scaling the best UK technology companies?
