Welcome to the Kelvin Institute
Creating new opportunities for innovation in Scotland
The Kelvin Institute is a research and development focused spin-out lab formed in partnership in 2003 with Glasgow University, Strathclyde University and Scottish Enterprise. The aim of the Kelvin Institute is to maximise the commercial potential of innovation research both in-house and from our partners in Scottish Universities and license the best intellectual property into the commercial sector.
Researchers are brought to the Kelvin Institute to collaborate with in-house experts, combining innovative research with rigorous commercial development standards and processes. The resulting products can be licensed to partners or support the generation of spin out companies.
The support of Scottish Enterprise helps us build and nurture relationships with companies, venture capitalists, angel investors, and industry analysts within Scotland and around the world. This informs and enhances the way we market Scottish innovation and helps us create new opportunities for revenues and profits.
The Kelvin Institute welcomes approaches from both Academics looking to further develop innovative work or from Industry looking for an innovative solution.
