Panel Discussion — The Future Economy: Investing in Britain's Growth Companies & Innovation Clusters
Michael Hutson is a Partner at Oxford Seed Fund and an Associate Fellow at Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre. Oxford Seed Fund backs student and alumni founders worldwide, investing in more than 40 companies each year across sectors.
The fund gives Michael a distinct perspective on the role of entrepreneurial talent in building innovation ecosystems — alongside the more established university spinout, IP and technology-transfer pathways.
Michael is particularly interested in quantitative approaches to venture capital and how investors can identify and back the people and companies emerging from Britain's leading innovation clusters.
