Tech pioneer donates millions to Durham University scholarships
A $4.15 million (£3.235 million) donation from former Netflix executive Neil Hunt will boost scholarships and support entrepreneurship initiatives at Durham University, with a focus on sustainability and diversity in technology.
Dr Hunt, who studied at Durham in the 1980s and later helped shape Netflix into one of the world’s most recognisable brands as its first chief product officer, made the donation alongside his partner, Julie Raymond.
The contribution will fund PhD scholarships aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, support the Hunt-Raymond Innovation Programme for student entrepreneurship, and create industry experience opportunities for science students.
Whether you are a small business or a multi-national market leader, Drum Business Park is the perfect place to locate and run your business.
