Equity investment into spinouts 2025

2024 represents one of the strongest years in the last decade for spinout investment

In collaboration with Parkwalk, we explore how UK spinouts are powering the future economy — from record-breaking biotech raises to the growing role of AI and digital technologies. The top sectors for investment align with the government’s Modern Industrial Strategy, where life sciences and advanced tech are central to long-term growth.

Key findings include:

  • • Record £3.35b invested in 2024, more than 40% year-on-year

     

  • • Two landmark raises: Autolus (£436m) and Bicycle Therapeutics (£435m)

     

  • • Signs of a more balanced national picture emerge, with the introduction of new funds and government support set to boost the northern regions
