Tech transfer and translation arising from SWC
At SWC and GCNU, our collaborative research culture and supportive environment help foster innovative ideas. While our research focuses on uncovering fundamental principles, our researchers enjoy scientific freedom, which has led to the creation of companies that deliver far-reaching societal benefits.
The innovative approach that we nurture in our scientists has contributed to the translation of scientific ideas into real-world applications, enhancing lives and facilitating knowledge exchange and technology transfer in science, healthcare and education.
Companies fostered by SWC and GCNU
Previously, our members have founded well-known companies that have benefited society, including DeepMind. This trend has continued and since 2019 a total of eight companies have been formed relating to the work and expertise of SWC/GCNU scientists.
