£30 million to grow regional research commercialisation ecosystems


Led by Durham University, SCENE will build on the success of the Northern Accelerator which has already helped launch over 50 spin-outs since 2018.

A major new investment is helping English universities work with partners to develop emerging and strengthen place-based commercialisation ecosystems.

Research England is investing £30 million into four ambitious regional projects through its university commercialisation ecosystems initiative. One of these projects will be led by Durham University.

These projects will bring together universities, industry and other partners to deliver a step change in knowledge exchange activity.
