This episode we explore Positive Impact. UCLB is helping to create a new generation of businesses from UCL academics specifically with positive societal impact at their heart. The commercialisation process can be a long road requiring financial, legal, and practical support. Nigel Campbell meets two inventors, Buffy Price Co-founder and COO of Carbon Re, an AI and Climate Tech company spinout from UCL and Cambridge, and Professor Pete Coffey from UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Founder of Tenpoint Therapeutics; both who are on that journey on how their inventions might improve our future world. We also talk to Dr Anne Lane, CEO of UCLB to find out how UCLB finds the bright ideas which will improve lives, and what it takes to scale to a point where they are having true impact.

Positive Impact: A new generation of business with society at heart

UCL (University College London) is consistently ranked among the world's top ten universities (QS World University Rankings 2010 - 2021). Our excellence extends across all academic disciplines, from one of the world's foremost centres for research and teaching in the biological sciences to world-renowned centres for architecture (UCL Bartlett), education (UCL IOE) and fine art (UCL Slade School).

UCL is London's leading multidisciplinary university, with more than 13,000 staff and 43,000 students from 150 different countries. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, UCL was the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men.
