End-to-end lab design and delivery for Deep Tech
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.
Whatever you're working on, there's a desk for you at Science Creates. Join one of the most exciting entrepreneurial communities in Bristol.
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.
Hone Bio is revolutionising drug delivery using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and exploring their potential across multiple therapeutics, including cell and gene therapies, vaccines and autoimmune diseases. Its NanoPilot platform technology engineers LNPs to target specific cell types with extreme precision to optimise drug effectiveness by minimising off-target effects that tend to accumulate in the liver. This unlocks new possibilities for using LNPs to safely treat diseases in other parts of the body that require maximum target specificity in their drug delivery.
Xterna is developing cell specific binders that are composed of xeno nucleic acids (XNA). By focusing on cell types that evade protein antigen based targeting approaches, it's able to unlock new cell types for targeted drug delivery.
Excellio is pioneering breakthroughs in targeted drug delivery using the extracellular vesicles, exosomes. Its innovative technology enables advanced biological therapeutics to reach previously unaddressed targets by equipping exosomes with tissue-specific GPS systems. This approach aims to redefine the landscape of precision medicine, improving treatment efficacy and safety by optimising cargo delivery and enhancing clinical performance.
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.
Early-stage investment for Deep Tech startups — by founders, for founders.
Sparking curiosity and lifelong engagement with STEM and entrepreneurship.
