Innovation Engine 2023 Case Studies

Case studies from Oxfordshire’s Innovation Engine now available in stand-alone format – take a look at the first two, Perspectum and Oxford Investment Opportunity Network

Perspectum span out of Oxford University in 2012, based on a pioneering discovery by Dr Rajarshi Banerjee who was convinced the MRI research he was conducting at the city’s John Radcliffe hospital for diagnosing heart conditions would be best applied to the liver.

Oxford Investment Opportunity Network

The Oxford Investment Opportunity Network (OION) is the business angel platform of Oxford Innovation Finance and is Oxfordshire’s principal angel network. It has been in operation since 1994 when it was one of the UK’s first business angel networks.  Executive Chair, Jens Tholstrup, joined the organisation, which is part of the Oxford Innovation group, in 2018, and today OION is one of the largest angel networks in the UK.
