Business Start-Up Support

Crisalis Enterprise Network

Spinout Support

CCS is the main driver in harnessing the University's research energy for the direct creation of Spinout businesses, in which the University is commonly a major shareholder. This activity is particularly strong in the agricultural and environmental sector.  With a start-up rate of 3-4 businesses per annum and a survival rate around 70%, Aberystwyth’s record bears national comparison.

Working  in partnership with Finance Wales’ Early Stage Development Fund, Aberystwyth University offers Spinout support to new businesses 'Spinning' out from (or 'Spinning' into) academic departments of the University.
