​About Innovation UBC

​Innovation UBC works with UBC’s researchers to support and accelerate the translation of their research into real world impacts. Through research partnerships, technology transfer, and venture building services, UBC researchers have access to a robust ecosystem of services and support to strengthen their translation opportunities. Our successful history of translation and commercialization has led to the creation of 284 spin-off companies, establishing over 500 active licensing agreements, and enabling thousands of research partnerships each year with industry, government, and non-profit organizations. We support $190M+ annually in sponsored research activities (which is more than 80% of provincial sponsored research funding). UBC licensed technologies have attracted over $8.4 billion in investment capital and generated over $13 billion in revenues. 91% of UBC spin-off companies remain in Canada, 88% in BC.
