Our ethos
We believe the next big breakthroughs will emerge at the intersection of fields like quantum, AI, and biotechnology — and that spinouts are the most powerful way to turn those innovations into global impact.
The first step is empowering those at the forefront of knowledge with the right infrastructure, training, resources and investment.
Science Creates is laying the foundations for bold ideas and innovation to thrive and scale, nationwide.
QLM Technology is developing advanced quantum lidar camera technology to identify greenhouse gas emissions. With continuous monitoring, cost-effective and 3D accuracy capabilities, it offers an effective and scalable solution to pinpointing leaks of the world’s largest emitters, like methane, within the oil and gas industry.
Kelpi is tackling plastic pollution by developing sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic packaging. It uses seaweed to create a unique bioplastic coating that provides a world-leading water barrier for new-generation packaging while being recyclable, biodegradable, and low carbon. By working with major food and drink, cosmetics and home care brands, Kelpi is already reducing reliance on fossil-fuel plastics and paving the way for a greener future in these industries.
Portal Biotech is revolutionising biosensing by bringing precise and universal proteomics and metabolomics to the bench-top. It utilises bioengineering, machine learning and microelectronics to develop next-generation nanopore solutions that enable comprehensive, single-molecule protein characterisation. This has the potential to expedite bringing new drugs and treatments to the market by equipping scientists and clinicians with the fundamental tools to deepen their understanding of proteins and metabolites.
Our focus
Deep Tech refers to innovations based on major breakthroughs in science and engineering, often built on years of research and proprietary technology to solve global challenges. Unlike regular tech, it focuses on transformative, long-term solutions in fields like AI, quantum, synthetic biology and advanced materials.
Deep Tech has the power to revolutionise industries, create new markets, and improve lives. From AI-driven healthcare to sustainable energy and quantum technologies, it tackles critical global issues.
We specialise in Deep Tech for its potential to drive systemic change and create significant impact, providing patient capital and strategic support to turn groundbreaking ideas into scalable businesses.
Designed for flexibility, our new 30,000 sq ft of lab, office, and meeting space for startups and scaleups is set to open in late 2025 in Bristol’s city centre.
Applications to join our bespoke, fully-funded programme delivered in partnership with the UKRI are now open.
We invest in Deep Tech at the pre-seed and seed stages — and our endgame is global impact.
