Fusion IP, plc. is a UK based listed company that capitalises on intellectual property extracted from four UK based universities, three of which are part of the Russell Group of universities: * University of Sheffield, * Cardiff University, * University of Nottingham, * Swansea University. It does this by creating companies around commercially opportunistic research and discoveries from the four universities. These companies are grown and then eventually sold (see spin-out companies). Fusion IP is one of a handful of companies that specialise in the commercialisation of university intellectual property within the UK through the sourcing of funding from public markets. The other two notable companies operating the same field are IP Group plc () and Imperial Innovations plc (). Additionally, smaller companies operate within the field of university intellectual property but do not have such a focus on spinning out companies, nor a formal contractual relationship with universities over intellectual property rights. Fusion IP has 20 companies currently within its portfolio. It creates between 2 and 3 new companies each year. ==Incubation Model== Fusion IP’s model of growing companies focuses around a business incubation model in which Fusion IP employees initially run, then continue to support the growth of every company within its portfolio. Stages to the Fusion IP company creation and growth model: # Review commercial opportunities produced by university partners, selecting those with the most potential for further development - "mining for ideas" # Convert the idea into a small start up company - incubation stage # Grow the company using a traditional venture capital approach # Sell the company 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fusion IP plc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
