Sussex Innovation is a business incubator for purpose-led entrepreneurs, start-ups and scale-ups. Its members are ambitious companies who are innovators in their field – solving important problems in new ways. Since its foundation in 1996, it has provided strategic insight and practical resources for growing businesses, inspiring them to have a bigger impact on the world. With the organisation's support, 4 in 5 founders have moved their businesses from concept to sustainable profitability, and more than £175million has been raised in equity investments and grants. Sussex Innovation has been headquartered on campus at the University of Sussex since 1996. The institution’s first off-campus hub, Sussex Innovation Croydon, opened in October 2015, with a third site due to open soon in Brighton city centre. Sussex Innovation hosts more than 150 member companies, spanning a range of sectors from the forefront of engineering and biomedical research to digital media and app development. From the original £2 million invested in the first Sussex Innovation Centre, it has gone on to support over £750M of cumulative revenues for businesses across the South of England.
