What We Do
IP Group’s core business is the creation of value for its shareholders and partners through the commercialisation of intellectual property originating from research intensive institutions.
At the time that the Company was founded in 2001, it had a single university partnership the University of Oxford). Today it has long-term partnerships with ten universities in total in the UK. As at 30 June 2007, 60 portfolio companies had been created from these partnerships.
IP Group has been highly successful in creating value for its shareholders and its partners to date. Ten of its portfolio companies have listed on the Alternative Investment Market, one on PLUS Markets and there have been two trade sales.
In addition to this core activity of commercialising intellectual property with its partners, IP Group has three key subsidiaries -- Top Technology Ventures, Modern Biosciences and Modern Waste. (Modern Water was the first of its subsidiaries to float on AIM in June 2007.)
