Solid Foundation
IP Group was set up with a mission to evolve great ideas into world-changing businesses; to bridge the gap between cutting-edge scientific innovation and commercialisation; giving some of the best technological inventions the tools to succeed.
Beginning in 2000, the Group pioneered the concept of the long-term exclusive partnership model with UK universities, founding an industry that helps create, build and support outstanding intellectual property-based companies.
In 2013 IP Group replicated this approach with a select group of US research institutions. In 2017 the Group announced it was partnering with the Group of Eight and the University of Auckland and establishing an office in Australia.

Primed for Growth
We work in partnership with the leading research universities in Australia and New Zealand to identify ground-breaking technologies with the potential to change the world.
We take a highly differentiated approach to venture creation, collaborating with universities and academic teams to develop and form spin-out companies, which we support with capital and talent. We engage deeply in a thriving environment of innovation by providing on-the-ground, experienced support, expediting new technology toward commercialisation.
