Company case studies

From life-saving vaccines to decision-making tools, discover how Founders and researchers from the University of Oxford have worked with us to turn early ideas into innovation-led impact.

Innovation to impact

Explore the stories of the University of Oxford’s ideas in action – improving health outcomes, shaping policy, advancing technology and changing everyday experiences. Spanning spinouts, startups, software platforms and licensing partnerships, they reflect the different ways OUI has supported ideas to move from concept to adoption, scale and long-term impact across the world. 

‘For Peter and I, as first-time Founders, OUI provided a vital guide and partner through the fundraising ecosystem and the journey to company formation. They helped us navigate the fundraising ecosystem with early-stage funding and introductions to our founding investors, and were pivotal in helping us identify and partner with our extraordinary founding CEO, Dr Les Russell.’
