University of Manchester Innovation Factory

We are the University of Manchester's tech transfer office (TTO); driving the commercialisation of the University’s innovations and intellectual property. Our core mission is to use this IP to create positive social, economic and environmental impact. The Innovation Factory works with academic and student inventors to identify research that has the potential to create value. It then translates these into a form where they can be used to benefit society as a whole. Watch our videos to see some of the incredible projects we work with!
