Oxford Science Enterprises (OSE) has come a long way over the past decade. We’ve pioneered an entirely new business model, systematically creating and scaling companies on the shoulders of brilliant university scientists, while navigating the twists and turns that come with doing something that’s never been done before.
In that time, our venture-building engine has matured into a powerful, repeatable blueprint. We’re now close to creating one new company every month – and this year, with the sale of Oxford Ionics to IonQ, we proved we can take a scientific breakthrough from the lab and build it into a global, billion-dollar business.
And we’re just warming up – we have some of the most exciting new spinouts we’ve ever seen emerging from the University and our more advanced companies are breaking records as they scale.
That’s why I’m delighted to unveil our new brand today: one that captures both the journey so far and our ambition for what’s to come.
The next phase of OSE’s journey is about building on these foundations to maximise the value we create – for our shareholders, for Oxford, for the UK, and the world.
That means driving growth – through technology, and through expanding our suite of venture-building services and tools – so that OSE and our portfolio can scale faster, more efficiently, and with greater impact.
It means expanding our Entrepreneurs-in-Residence programme, embedding more world-class entrepreneurial talent alongside Oxford’s academics to co-found and build the next wave of billion-pound opportunities.
And it means working side-by-side with government and global investors to deepen the later-stage funding pool, ensuring our UK companies have the capital they need to compete – and win – on the global stage.
Our new brand communicates with greater clarity why OSE exists, what we do, and how we work. It sharpens the focus on what lies at our core – extraordinary people, a clear purpose, and stories of real-world impact.
At OSE, everything begins with Oxford’s world-class science – and the visionary scientists and founders driven to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges.
Our new website brings their stories to life and showcases our bold Find–Fund–Build approach – systematically creating spinouts to deliver both global impact and strong returns. It puts this blueprint front and centre, answering the ‘so what?’ behind every click.
It celebrates the people behind the science and our role in helping them succeed, and it cuts through complexity to show not just the businesses we’re building, but why they matter to the world.
Most of all, it highlights what sets OSE apart: a unique University partnership, a team with deep experience working alongside founders every day, and a proven model that turns world-class science into world-changing companies. All of this underpinned by patient capital, global ambition, and a strong track record.
So yes, we have new colours, new fonts, and new business cards – and I think they look fantastic. But this isn’t design for design’s sake. It’s about telling OSE’s story.
We’d love you to explore our new website and see this story come to life.
As you take a look around, you’ll meet the visionary scientists and founders who embody the unique magic of Oxford – and discover a remarkable portfolio of companies lining up to transform industries and tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the world.
The opportunity before us is immense – and so is our determination to seize it. We believe the UK’s first trillion-pound company will emerge from a university-led ecosystem like Oxford, and we’re determined to help build it.
Above all, our aim is to inspire the next generation of founders and attract more investors to join us on the journey. As we enter our next chapter, I couldn’t be prouder to lead OSE, working alongside our founders, investors, my incredible team and the wider Oxford ecosystem. Together, we’re building companies to change the world and deliver impact that lasts for generations.
