About the Golden Circle
Golden Circle is a partnership between University of Sussex, University of Reading, University of East Anglia, Kent University, Essex University, University of Brighton and Royal Holloway University of London.The objective is to share resources and capacity to significantly increase the number of spinouts the UK produces each year.
"
The Golden Circle shows that its member universities can overcome the barriers of being competing organisations, and rise to the challenge of unlocking the enormous untapped commercial potential within our combined research. The Golden Circle will enable its staff and students to become the next generation of entrepreneurs, who will fast-track and transform the scale of its universities’ contribution to growing the UK’s economy and creating high-quality jobs in its communities.

Sharing the best of what each Golden Circle university does to create high value spin-outs has definitely raised our game at Sussex. The Golden Circle results showcase how working together makes us so much more than the sum of our parts.

The Golden Circle pilot has been a very positive and productive project to be part of. The shared insights gained from working together with our university partners have been excellent, and guided by our expert commercialisation partners Wellspring, Oxentia and Henley Business Angels, we have received exceptional support that has fuelled our know-how and accelerated our abilities to progress spin out.

"At Reading we are committed to developing transformational scientific opportunities to address current unmet needs and there's a lot of entrepreneurial drive here with potential for more. I am looking forward to continued engagement with Golden Circle partners as we work to our strengths, grow our commercialisation pipelines and importantly, generate and nurture increasing numbers of spinouts."

One of the most impactful outcomes of the project for the University of Kent has been the opportunity to connect and collaborate with peers across the Golden Circle partnership - discovering shared challenges and learning from their experiences has been incredibly insightful. The acceleration feedback and guidance from the mentor assigned to Kent, alongside the introduction to the SURFACE programme, has added real value... The Golden Circle has delivered sustained benefits, and we’re excited to keep building on those with our partners.
