Spin-Offs

MUST spin-offs are business ventures founded by academic staff to commercially exploit academic research.

Spin-offs can strengthen the linkage between universities, industry and the local economy (the “Triple Helix”) and are one way in which university research may have a significant impact on local economic development. The spin-offs are flexible and dynamic, playing an important role in the introduction of new-to-the-market products and the development of high-tech clusters.
