Power of Innovation

The University of Edinburgh’s annual impact review 2024/25

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.

And we work across the University ecosystem to catalyse innovation, through the Data-Driven Innovation Hubs, for example, or our entrepreneurship programmes for UK companies.

Download our annual review, and work with us to make ideas work for a better world.

The University of Edinburgh is a beacon of knowledge and discovery. We harness our extraordinary ideas for the benefit of everyone; taking research out of academia and into the world. We are a driver of impact and wealth creation as we catalyse knowledge into change.”
Dr Andrea Taylor, CEO of Edinburgh Innovations
