Edinburgh is among the best places in the UK - outside of the ‘golden triangle’ of Oxford, Cambridge and London - for university spin-out companies to grow.
That's according to the Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Hub, which stated that Scotland's capital hosted 78 spin-outs, continuing to attract fledgling firms from universities in other parts of the country, due to leading research institutions, funding ties and access to talent.
The third annual Spotlight on spin-outs report follows the recent publication of the UK Government’s Science and Technology framework, in which it committed to strengthening the spin-out pipeline, and the government’s ongoing review to identify best practice in turning university research into commercial success.
