Commercialisation

The University of Southampton is leading the way in translating research discoveries into commercial successes.

In partnership with industry and government, we are changing the world for the better by enabling our researchers to take those important first steps into the business world, and helping businesses benefit from our research innovations.

The process of turning this research into viable products and services can be challenging, which is why we have a comprehensive range of supporting services and expertise.
