Sifted’s Tom Nugent discusses how proof-of-concept funding is fairing in the UK for spinouts. In the Autumn Budget it was announced that the government would put forward £40m in proof-of-concept funding over the next five years. Tom Nugent shares perspectives across the technology transfer sector, in a discussion which asks, is it enough? UCLB’s Managing Director, Dr Steven Schooling shares his thoughts, “It’s good to see the government has listened to calls from the tech transfer sector and understood the importance of supporting early-stage technologies from our universities to get them investment-ready. “However, while this is an uplift from the £20m pledged [but not distributed] by the previous government, it remains significantly lower than that invested by our international competitors in the EU and the US.” #Budget #Funding #TechTransfer More in Sifted: 

So, I know I am not as scientifically proficient as many of the licensing staff in the MIT Technology Licensing Office, by design not accident I assure you. So, this clip (I think) shows what I am good at, in UK parlance 'my sums'. The #data, numbers, setting expectations and understanding that in #techtransfer, not everything that goes into the #pipeline is going to come out with a healthy return ($$), or even any return. However, that's the nature of the game. We have to take reasonable risks to have impact through the transfer of cutting edge scientific research to small, medium and large enterprises. We need to manage our #resources wisely, for the long term, and we need to keep our university stakeholders fully informed about how much it takes ($$) and how long it takes (years) for other parties to actually further develop the technologies they license from universities. (note, hopefully that's what the clip is actually about as I cannot bear to watch or listen to myself again! :) ). Oh, and enjoy the graphics courtesy of Laura Skinger and Robyn Bunch.
