In addition, 165 proof-of-principle(PoP) IP projects have been initiated and managed.

Europe’s largest dedicated university spin-out seed fund(the UMIP Premier Fund) was established here in 2008with a value of £31.5 million. It has invested in 12 spin-out companies and 26 PoP projects, and has establisheda novel £5 million PoP arrangement with the IP Group to support projects for its second investment phase.
