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.
Designed for flexibility, OMX, our new 30,000 sq ft of lab, office, and meeting space for startups and scaleups is now ready to take new tenants.
We currently welcome applications from service providers working in legal, IT, grants, cloud, bespoke software and marketing.
We invest in Deep Tech at the pre-seed and seed stages — and our endgame is global impact.
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, engineering biology and advanced materials — the UK government's designated frontier industries.
Deep Tech can revolutionise entire industries, create high-skilled jobs and unlock new economic growth while improving lives.
We specialise in Deep Tech because the social, environmental and economic returns are proportional to the ambition. It demands patient capital and deep technical understanding, and that's exactly what we're built to provide.
Memo Bio is transforming bioplastic manufacturing by developing strains of bacteria that efficiently synthesise biodegradable polymers. Its bio-manufacturing technology uses bioreactors to grow methane-eating bacteria, bio-engineered for a high polymer yield. By using greenhouse gases as feedstock that's competitively priced and accessible, Memo Bio's mission is to facilitate the use of bioplastics as substitutes for petroleum-based plastics, contributing to climate change mitigation.
Biofuel Evolution is driving the process industries’ transition towards net-zero to fuel a circular bio-economy. Its flagship product BEBlock harnesses the power of data analytics, microbial consortia and bio-electrochemical systems to transform food and organic waste into sustainable bio-based products. By developing a decentralised or localised system, its unique solution addresses critical environmental challenges by eliminating the need for energy-intensive biomass and carbon-intensive feedstock logistics.
PNAS Therapeutics is developing a one-step drug delivery platform for next-generation regenerative therapies to cure insulin-dependent diabetes. Its breakthrough approach reprograms existing pancreatic alpha cells into functional insulin-producing beta cells, offering a one-time curative treatment. Backed by Innovate UK grants, it's advancing its lead program toward clinical trials, transforming diabetes care with platform technology applicable across multiple conditions.
Our versatile spaces can welcome a variety of events, from small meetings to 60-person seminars including catering and a fully licensed bar.
Over 75,000 sq ft of specialist lab, office and events space, designed for Deep Tech.
Bespoke training, resources and partnerships to empower and connect the Deep Tech community.
