Building a Community of Academic Founders

The ImperiaFounders Forum is an invitation-only community for Imperiaacademics who are exploring or actively engaged in entrepreneurship and spinout creation. It brings together staff from across disciplines to share insights, build connections, and support one another in turning research into real-world impact.

Each session offers a confidential space for open discussion, where academic founders share their journeys and invited business leaders and investors contribute their perspectives. Whether you're launching a first spinout or building on previous ventures, the Forum helps navigate the realities of commercialisation, team formation, and venture development.

The ImperiaFounders Forum is supported by 海角社区’s Enterprise Division as part of its broader mission to enable academic entrepreneurship across the College.
