An insight into Science Creates
Founded by exited entrepreneurs, Science Creates is a Deep Tech ecosystem that enables scientists and engineers to turn their groundbreaking discoveries into disruptive businesses that can revolutionise the health of people and the planet.
We support our startup community with specialised lab space, expert training and mentoring, a network of partner organisations, and access to investment opportunities.
Through our independent charity and public events, we inspire the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs.
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.
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.
Bitrobius Genetics is transforming the treatment of genetic diseases by intercellular transmission of DNA. Its Gentrafix™ platform technology overcomes a major challenge in gene therapy - ensuring therapeutic genes reach the majority of cells in an affected area - by generating plasmids that can replicate, spread and carry genes within human cells. This paves the way for more cost-effective manufacturing of potential cures, addressing the limited number of gene therapies currently available on the market, which are among the most expensive medicines in history.
Anaphite is decarbonising battery production by accelerating the electric vehicle (EV) industry’s shift to dry battery electrode coating. Its technology platform solves the challenges of dry mixing and manufactures film-forming dry powders called Dry Coating Precursor (DCP®). This process enables cell manufacturers to reduce their energy use by up to 30% and create better, more sustainable batteries at lower cost.
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.
Available for hire for those working in the innovation sector, our versatile spaces can welcome a variety of events.
