Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on what basis he monitors the performance of spin-out
companies; and what makes a company eligible to be classified as a university spin-off. [122163]
Ms Hewitt: The performance of spin-out companies created by universities are not monitored routinely by Government.
The Government have been using the definition of a university spin-out from the Industry-Academic links in the UK report by PREST,
the Policy Research in Engineering and Science & Technology Unit in the University of Manchester (December 98/70 produced by the
Higher Education Funding Council for England). The definition is encapsulated on page 35 in the sentence . . . spin-out companies
from the HET, which are established to exploit the commercialisation of results arising from a specific stream of research.
In addition, under the pilot data collection exercise which was part of the University Challenge Fund competition in 1998-99 the
AUTM (Association of University Technology Managers in the USA) definition was used this states: Start-up (read spin-out) companies
are companies that were dependent upon licensing the institution's technology for initiation.
The Government are currently refining their definition of a spin-out in order to improve future data collection initiatives.
