Spotlight on Spinouts 2025

Continuing our partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering, we explore the UK academic spinout landscape.

The fifth edition of Spotlight on Spinouts provides a comprehensive analysis of the 1,609 active UK spinouts. While spinouts represent just 3.21% of the UK’s high-growth company landscape, they continue to outperform their size. In 2024, they secured £2.60b in equity investment, even as wider investment in high-growth companies declined by 19%. This year’s report examines the geographic distribution of spinouts, key trends in leadership diversity, and equity funding patterns.
