ISIS INNOVATION LTD

Isis Enterprise provides consulting expertise and advice in technology transfer and innovation management to clients across the public and private sectors around the world.

Isis was established by Oxford University in 1988 as its wholly owned technology transfer company. Isis has developed substantially over the years in a number of phases, as the technology transfer activity has grown, and with the formation of Oxford University Consulting and Isis Enterprise.

Our mission is to be the best technology transfer organisation, transferring technology from the University of Oxford, supporting Oxford academic consultancy and helping client organisations, all in a commercial manner for social and economic benefits.

Isis manages the University’s intellectual property portfolio, working with University researchers on identifying, protecting and marketing technologies through licensing, spin-out company formation, consulting and material sales. Isis funds patent applications and legal costs, negotiates exploitation and spin-out company agreements, and identifies and manages consultancy opportunities. Isis works on projects from all areas of the University’s research activities: life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences and humanities. Isis provides access to Oxford’s expertise and provides researchers with advice on commercialisation.
