We were delighted to support a successful Pitch Day and Networking Event yesterday with our partners, Accelerate Estonia, at the Estonian Embassy in London. It was a great opportunity to see some inspiring presentations from innovative UK-based startups facing regulatory barriers to growth who can be helped by Accelerate Estonia's unique regulatory sandbox approach. The startups pitched, showcasing solutions across various sectors and receiving input from the audience. We look forward to following their progress and seeing how these companies continue to grow and make an impact with the support of Accelerate Estonia in helping them overcome regulatory barriers. #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Collaboration

When it comes to university research commercialisation, the UK performs well by international standards. But there is a 'long tail' of universities who only spin-out infrequently. To boost the UK's performance further, one of the recommendations from the UK's Independent review of spin-outs was to "...create shared TTOs to help build scale and critical mass in the spin-out space for smaller research universities". We have seen first-hand the great potential for commercialisation in these institutions, so agree wholeheartedly with this recommendation. We're therefore delighted to be involved in the delivery of several CCF-RED shared TTO pilot projects announced today and look forward to working with the University partners in the coming months. #Innovation #Spinouts #TTO
