Oxford Science Enterprises
Turning Oxford's world-leading science into world-changing companies.
We are Oxford Science Enterprises, the Science Business Builder.
We want to help solve the world’s toughest problems for more people, in more places, faster.
• Enabling people to lead longer, healthier lives
• Protecting the future of our planet
• Creating a safe, secure world
• Accelerating the pace of positive change
We do this by transforming world-leading science into world-changing businesses, partnering the best scientists, from the world’s best university with the best business brains.
We grow our companies with care and expertise; in a way that is systematic and scalable. We invest for real-world impact, not only financial returns. And we re-invest proceeds back into the next generation of original research and world changing businesses.
Our enterprises address problems that affect people in life-changing ways: their health; the availability of food; the survival of the planet.
Since 2015, we have received an automatic stake in all Oxford University science spinouts; more than 100 businesses, founded by over 200 of Oxford’s leading academics – and we have taken a leading role in creating and building over 60 of these; adding +55,000 sq ft of lab & start-up space to support them.
Today our businesses are worth over £2bn and have created +1,500 jobs.
Our vision is a world where the best scientists and brightest business minds combine to solve our biggest challenges at unprecedented speed.
We’re working to create that world, and we’re doing it in a way that we’ll be proud of in years’ to come: diverse, inclusive, and sustainable.
