Innovation Forum Oxford is recruiting for new team members — APPLY NOW
Can you see yourself as part of a team where current and past members have become successful startup founders, investment professionals, and innovation-focussed academics and clinicians?
“Working for the Oxford Innovation Forum was instrumental in securing an internship at a VC firm. The opportunity allowed me to demonstrate my passion for innovation and technology by learning and working closely with start-ups. I learnt so much about what a founder needs to complete during the early stages of a company, thereby making me a better investor. I have built an amazing network of academics, business leaders and innovators that I cherish.”

As Innovation Forum Oxford (IFO) we are one of 13 branches strategically located around the world run by more than 150 skilled and talented members and a network of more than 10,000 entrepreneurially–minded people that seek to build bridges between academics, industry leaders, investors, and policy makers. Together, we focus on the evolution and the future of today’s innovations, which range from the nascent stage to the cusp of commercial application. We deliver through three streams; local activities and workshops, a global accelerator IMAGINE IF! and an annual flagship HealthTech Leaders and Investors Conference.
Recently as a local branch IFO have run a packed roster of events, including creating a bespoke mentoring and training programme for female entrepreneurs (WE-ACE); running a series of interactive workshops to support and train scientists considering the journey to commercialising an innovation (ACE Saturdays 2019/20 and 2020/21); and organising a major scientific conference (Innovation in Genomics).
