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.
Matrix Bio empowered researchers to engineer exceptional hydrogels using robust prediction algorithms and AI-guided design suggestions. Its proprietary technology combined novel hydrogel engineering techniques with advanced computational tools to radically increase the speed and scale of 3D cell culture development and discovery. This unique approach enabled scientists to rapidly identify the ideal conditions for a wide range of cell types, accelerating drug development and developing new industry design tools.
Celltris is reimagining battery cell design to unlock fast charging for heavy electric vehicles. Its mechanical approach to cell terminal design enables battery packs to be built at a 40% reduction in component costs with a 60% cut in heat generation. This enables industrial vehicles to be charged 2-3x faster without the thermal penalty, removing the need for oversized cooling systems or bottlenecks from slow charge times.
CellVoyant is accelerating the development of novel stem cell-based therapies for chronic diseases. Its technology uses AI-first live cell imaging to predict and optimise stem cell differentiation, enable advanced cell analytics and ultimately unlock the controllable manufacturing of any cell and tissue in the body at scale. Built on foundational research at the University of Bristol, CellVoyant works at the intersection of cell biology, computing, engineering and machine learning to carry out its mission.
Our versatile spaces can welcome a variety of events, from small meetings to 60-person seminars including catering and a fully licensed bar.
