IP Group plc says it has been backing and nurturing science and technology-based businesses for more than 25 years, drawing on ideas and intellectual property from its networks, universities and research institutions. Its website organises the portfolio into HealthTech, DeepTech and CleanTech teams and lists offices in London and Melbourne. University spinout investor Parkwalk Advisors joined IP Group in 2017, according to Parkwalk.
In November 2026 Aberdeen Investments appointed IP Group to manage a UK venture growth portfolio within the CG Scottish Widows Growth LTAF, a fund that channels workplace pension savings into private companies. The portfolio's initial investments are expected to include the quantum computing companies Oxford Quantum Circuits and Quantum Motion, alongside Nyobolt and Genomics Limited.
