OUTCOMES

Measuring External Outcomes

We measure our external outcomes by understand our partners achievements regarding societal and environmental change.

Last year we launched our first questionnaire to explore the impact of our companies and in this report we have expanded it further. We reached out to our licensees to ask them similar questions, and we examine how those technologies and ideas are being used or developed, looking at common themes.
