To support high-potential companies that are moving past the conceptual stage, Oxford Entrepreneurs is proud to offer a vibrant incubation centre.

If you’re a current Oxford University student or recent graduate of the University looking for value-priced office space to incubate your early-stage business in central Oxford, you’ve found it! Thanks to the generosity of Keble College and donations from alumni, OE has created the Oxford Entrepreneurs Incubation Centre based at Keble’s Acland site.

The OEIC proffers the use of ample desk space with 24/7 access for a mere £150 per month per desk. This monthly rate includes high-speed Internet access, a mailing address, use of a conference room (including data projector), printer, kitchenette, and exposure to key OE contacts in industries such as PR and venture capital.

Each desk space fills about 36 square feet of the OEIC’s total area of 630 square feet.

Requirements:

• At least one of the company’s most prominent and active members must be a current student of Oxford University (including those on sabbatical) or a recent graduate of the University (i.e., degree completion requirements were fulfilled within the past three years)
• Users of the deskspace must be permitted to live and work in the UK
• The company must be able to commit to a minimum rental period of four months

Examples of OEIC tenants:

• Plink, specialists in machine vision software & applications
• LabMinds, automators of manual laboratory tasks
• GBPN, developers of a technology that produces wood-based biofuel
