Universities change the world through teaching, research and innovation.
At Edinburgh Innovations, the University’s commercialisation service, we facilitate innovation by partnering with others to understand real-world challenges and co-create for growth; by protecting and licensing our inventions and other intellectual property; and by forming companies and attracting investment.
