Having spun out of the University of Dundee, Exscientia is one of many exciting companies emerging from leading universities.
But the road to commercialisation can be a tricky one for academic innovations. In yesterday's event on deep tech and spinouts, panelist Nathan Benaich said: "What I see is students with a great idea that have to face the Tech Transfer Office, and it's like entering a knife fight with a water pistol."
Watch again here for a punchy and productive discussion on IP terms and tech sovereignty, with Nathan (Air Street Capital), Inga Deakin (Draper Esprit), Eoghan O'Neill (European Commission), and Riam Kanso (Conception X), moderated by Maija Palmer (Sifted).
Plus, new on Dealroom, track every spinout from as soon as they're born on campus.
