The Oxford Trust has published its 2025 Impact Review, marking its 40th year with strong results across its innovation centres, and its Science Oxford STEM education and engagement programmes.
Review findings
During 2025, the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire-based charity supported 28 science and technology businesses which employed 350 people, while its education and engagement activities has reached more than 32,000 people across its facilities.
The trust also supported 100 schools taking part in the Big Science Event.
The Oxford Trust’s innovation centres- the Wood Centre for Innovation, and the Oxford Centre for Innovation- both operated at over 90 percent capacity to support a growing cluster of early-stage science and technology companies.
In addition, construction began on the Trust’s £7 million Aspen Building at the Wood Centre for Innovation, which will add 17,000 sq. ft of laboratory and office space to support scaling science and technology companies.
Comments
Steve Burgess, CEO of The Oxford Trust, said “Our mission has always been to encourage the pursuit of science- from inspiring young people about the wonders of STEM to supporting science and technology companies to grow and succeed.
“This year’s impact demonstrates the strength of our model: by nurturing innovation and enterprise in Oxford’s science ecosystem, we generate income that can be reinvested directly into inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers.
“Now in our 41st year, it is encouraging to see the continued growth of our innovation centres and the reach of our Science Oxford’s programmes.
“Together they play an important role in strengthening our ecosystem and widening access to science for young people.
“On behalf of the trustees, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the whole team who work tirelessly and with such passion to make this all happen.”
