UK university spinouts raised £1.56 billion in investment during the first half of 2026, marking a 38.2% increase from late 2025 and nearing a decade-high. However, first-time equity funding for new ventures fell sharply by 68.3% year-on-year to just £47 million, indicating challenges for early-stage companies. Large deals, including a £260 million round by Oxford Quantum Circuits, drove the rebound, with international investors accounting for 86.1% of total funding. IP Group and Parkwalk remain leading investors in UK spinouts and urge the government to strengthen the Enterprise Investment Scheme to support early-stage funding and retain innovation benefits domestically.
