Matt Perkins: Oxford University Innovation

Matt Perkins has been the chief executive of Oxford University Innovation for just under five years and he joins us to talk not only about why he moved from industry into academia but also about how OUI set up programmes to support diverse founding teams, the impact of Oxford Sciences Innovation on the local ecosystem and the increasing importance of social enterprises as well as why, once the pandemic is over, there won’t just be a rush back to the office.
