Oxford Innovation Society

The Oxford Innovation Society (OIS) is a leading forum for open innovation, bringing together researchers and inventors, Oxford spinouts, technology transfer professionals, local and national companies, venture capital groups and some of the world’s most innovative multinationals.

2024 is a pilot year for a refreshed OIS, crafted to foster deeper connection between the innovation community within and beyond Oxfordshire. Read more about the evolution of the OIS in our OIS Manifesto 2024 [pdf].
