Dundee named UK’s top university for spinout success

The Entrepreneurial Impact Report considers things like the number of patents, spinouts created and portfolio exit value to assess how well institutions commercialise and spinout deeptech companies.

The University of Dundee ranked so highly thanks to the £2.2bn IPO of AI drug discovery company Exscientia in 2021 — one of the largest ever UK university exits — and the £38m Series B raise for drug development startup Amphista Therapeutics.
