An innovative partnership
The University of Glasgow is to partner with Glasgow Caledonian University to enhance the two institutions’ capacity for entrepreneurship, innovation and commercialisation.
The Innovation3 Exchange is a five-year pilot partnership between the universities, supported by the Scottish Funding Council.
By harnessing distinct strengths, cultures and networks, the two universities will work together to facilitate the exchange of ideas, unlock untapped potential and deepen societal impact. Central to this vision is the development of a robust and sustainable pipeline of social and commercial enterprises, underpinned by mutual learning and a shared commitment to innovation.
Uzma Khan is Vice-Principal for Economic Development & Innovation and Deputy Chief Operating Officer at UofG: "The fund will allow academic staff and students across both universities to access events, accelerator programmes, de-risking funds for commercialisation and the combined expertise of our Technology Transfer Office, including wraparound support and training.
"We hope this exciting collaboration will become an exemplary model in demonstrating tangible success and create the foundations for a strong, continued partnership over the longer term.”
