Modus Operandi

To date, SUEL and its predecessor, Unisheff Ventures Limited, has assisted in the formation over 50 companies spun-out from the University of Sheffield.

SUEL adds value to the technology transfer process through:

  • Strategic patent protection of new ideas and technologies capable of commercial exploitation
  • Providing advice to University staff during the early phases of relevant projects to ensure that their and the University’s interests are protected in the most effective manner
  • Identification and commercial assessment of the markets for new products and services emanating from the University’s research and teaching activities
  • Building teams that provide the relevant financial, legal, sales, marketing, production, management and any other specialist skills to University staff to assist them in the commercial exploitation of the IP developed in the course of their employment by the University
  • Creating and managing access to funding to underwrite the transition of commercially relevant projects from research to development
  • Developing links to sources of later stage funding to support the successful spin-out of companies based on IP developed by University employees
  • Assisting in the day-to-day management of University spin-out companies, with particular emphasis on the requirement for good corporate governance
  • Providing regular reports to the board of SUEL on the performance of the company and the activities of the spin-out companies it sets up on behalf of the University
  • Playing a full part in local, regional, national and international activities relevant to the mission of SUEL
