Oxford University Innovation has launched University-wide support for social enterprises. Researchers will be able to receive support for creating businesses around ideas that may not be inherently patentable and will have the option of creating spinout companies focused on impact.
To meet demand for the service, which OUI anticipates will create at least an additional 10 spinouts a year, OUI has created a group led by Dr Mark Mann, Innovation Lead for Humanities and Social Sciences.
Examples of some of the projects OUI will support include secure, cashless homeless donations app Greater Change and mobile and VR-based lifesaving emergency instruction platform LIFE.
