MTI and The University of Manchester announce the first close of the UMIP Premier Fund (“UPF”)

MTI and The University of Manchester today announce the first close of Europe’s largest institutional fund to have a single university focus - the UMIP Premier Fund ("the Fund").

With funding from a broad range of UK and European institutional and supranational investors, including EIF (European Investment Fund), NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), Co-operative Insurance Society and others, the Fund has initial backing of €42 million (£32 million).

The fund manager, MTI, believes that it is likely the Fund will eventually close at €65 million (£50 million).
