As a programme funded under this funding stream it’s great to read about the shared experience of running truly collaborative projects and to see real examples of how a diversity of talent is important to the commercialisation process. A special mention was made in Benefits to Spin-Outs to Cohort One alumni Ugur Tanriverdi with Unhindr “a soft robotic liner for prosthetics which uses AI to adapt to limb shape changes throughout the day”.
