InnovationRCA key outcomes and impacts

Since 2004, InnovationRCA has helped spin-out many successful companies that are creating jobs in the UK and overseas, generating exports and responding to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals of health, clean water and sanitation, hunger, sustainable cities and communities, life on land and below water and climate action. Its results and achievements led McKinsey & Co to assess InnovationRCA as a “world-class spinout incubator and an inspirational organisation acting as a significant driver of entrepreneurial growth, delivering impressive results” (McKinsey RCA Internal Review, 2017).

In July 2019, InnovationRCA’s Creative Brand Accelerator won the ‘Accelerator of the Year 2019’ award given by the UK Business Angels Association, in recognition of the programme’s excellence and InnovationRCA’s outstanding incubation track record. Finally, InnovationRCA’s outcomes mean it consistently ranks among the top UK universities in independent reports (Beauhurst, Feb 2020).
