Case Studies
Since 2002 the SETsquared Partnership has supported an enormous variety of projects and companies from within and outside the four universities. Two examples include:
Offshore Hydrocarbon Mapping A spin-out from the National Oceanography Centre at the University of Southampton, OHM is the world’s leading provider of Controlled Source Electromagnetic Imaging (CSEMI) services, including surveying, data processing, and data interpretation services to the offshore oil industry. Flotation on the Alternative Investment Market in March 2004 resulted in a market capitalisation price of £49.3 million.
Aardvark Innovation Two years ago serial entrepreneur Richard Counsell's dream of world-wide success had stalled when he was struggling to gain financial backing for his ideas. Advice from SETsquared mentors put Aardvark back on track, and 2006 has seen the company sign major deals with 20th Century Fox and Skype over a range of fun character phones called Verballs.
More detailed success stories can be found within the case studies section.
