Details
The report, produced by market research agency Ipsos MORI, provides data and analyses for all known MRC-linked spin-outs on:
- characteristics
- volume
- equity investment
- revenue
- valuation
This includes a comprehensive analysis of spin-outs established since 2008 and a more limited analysis of pre-2008 spin-outs.
In 2008 MRC introduced a programme of initiatives directed toward supporting early phase, academic-led, translational research projects. An evaluation of this programme was conducted in 2018. This report provides an update to the spin-out analysis contained within the 2018 report, as well as an examination of data available on spin-outs established prior to 2008.
Additionally, the report provides comparisons between the volume and value of spin-outs emerging from research funded through two of MRC’s translationally targeted research programmes (the Developmental Pathway Funding Scheme and Impact Accelerator Account, Formerly Confidence-in-Concept) and MRC’s broader portfolio of research programmes.
