We’re on a mission to foster a virtuous circle of innovation, investment and impact.

Channelling our resources in the right direction

For 600 years we have pursued knowledge for the common good. There is a wealth of expertise, ideas and talent in our academic community.

St Andrews Innovation was created to put those ideas and the bright minds behind them to good use. We wrap experience, connections and guidance from across the University around the most promising ideas from our community. And we collaborate with innovators, making it easy for enterprise to engage with our ideas, talent and resources to find solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time.

We help transform research into world-leading innovation by lending support and resources to nurture early-stage ideas and nourish their development. We call upon our expertise in intellectual property, funding and strategic growth so our partners and people can flourish.

The campus of the future

Based in North East Fife, Eden Campus is a home for innovative economic ideas with a focus on decarbonising society. We work with business, industry, government, and investors to create a place where green energy, product development and innovation, academia, and entrepreneurship combine. This powerful confluence is set up to accelerate the transfer of knowledge from lab to real-world impact.

A 32.5-acre industrial site, Eden has the capacity to co-locate industry alongside academic expertise from across Scotland, using knowledge, skills and research to exploit emerging commercial opportunities. It benefits from on-site renewable electricity and low carbon heat, walking the talk by using low-carbon solutions in a true ‘living lab’.
