IMPERIAL INNOVATIONS SERVICE PROVIDER NETWORK 2012
Imperial Innovations Service Provider Network
Imperial Innovations has an extensive service provider network, which has recently been updated and will continue to be expanded. This network aims to benefit Imperial spin-out companies by:  Making readily available a range of important services to support the successful growth of early stage companies;  Fostering links between Imperial spin-outs and the business community;  Negotiating preferable rates and payment structures that are aligned with the financial position of early stage companies. In order to ensure that providers continue to meet these aims, their services are regularly reviewed. As such, feedback from spin-outs on current services and suggestions for future services are always welcomed. The role of Innovations in recommending particular service providers is to make those services more accessible for spin-outs and is not advisory. Ultimately, the choice of which provider to use lies with spin-outs and while Innovations will have met with representatives of the provider and approved them for use on the network, it cannot be held responsible should any problems be encountered between spin-outs and service providers.
