Our Old Market incubator hosts growing Deep Tech companies that have moved beyond proof of concept and are scaling their teams, typically 20–30 people strong.
This site serves as the main event venue of our Bristol campus — featuring the 1023 Bar, our community’s main stage for events and a gathering spot for informal meetups every Thursday.
Old Market members are breaking new ground in several science and engineering fields — from advanced sustainable materials to vaccine platforms and stem cell therapeutics.
With 30,000 sq ft of laboratory, office and meeting space, our Old Market incubator is a supportive, well-connected hub for growing Deep Tech companies.
This location also features a large event space, shared social spaces, and our favourite addition — the 1023 Bar, open every Thursday for the community.
Membership includes access to our platform of support, providing opportunities to attend workshops and events, connect with other founders, and find a mentor.





If you are looking for private lab and office space, get in touch to enquire about our current availability at Old Market or explore OMX, our newest Bristol incubator.

Invivo Healthcare is developing solutions to better understand and modulate human microbiomes, promoting long-term wellness and a sustainable future of healthcare. Its supplement therapeutics are plant, nutrient and microorganism-based, designed to lead the way in combating the rise of chronic diseases and a reductionist approach to medicine.

Dimension Biotechnologies is addressing unmet global vascular health challenges by improving diagnostic tools. Its transformative technology non-invasively monitors microscopic blood vessels at the biochemical level enabling doctors, drug developers and scientists to rapidly assess microvascular health and disease.

Reach Industries is optimising lab and scientist efficiency with its Lumi™ visual intelligence platform. By automating data capture and analysis for experiments, observations and complex scientific workflows, the platform functions as a streamlined operating system that is accelerating R&D, improving compliance and increasing reproducibility.




Fine Agrochemicals is enhancing crop quality for fruit and flower growers in agricultural, ornamental and landscape markets using its plant growth regulator (PGR) technology. Its PGR products, made using naturally occurring molecules through fermentation and combined with chemically synthesised compounds, help stimulate plant cells to enhance nutrient levels and targeted growth for improved crop outputs.

Herd Climate is a not-for-profit addressing the pressing agricultural challenge of enteric methane emissions produced by farming animals. It works directly with farmers, researchers and young people to bridge the gap between climate-smart scientific advancements and on-the-ground practices through innovative research, accessible science communication and engaging networking events. This equips agricultural communities - who are at the forefront of climate solutions - with actionable insights for collaborative, sustainable farming practices.

Carbometrics is striving to improve diabetes patient care by enhancing technology for continuous glucose monitoring. The team aims to pave the way for a new class of highly-accurate sensors with its groundbreaking synthetic molecule that is both chemically stable and able to bind to glucose in the blood. This follows on from the work of exited startup Ziylo Ltd, which was Science Creates’ very first resident and acquired by Novo Nordisk in 2018.




Epinal is revolutionising the detection and prevention of narcotic-impaired behaviour for safer roads, flights and workplaces. Utilising AI and novel biotechnology that mimics natural sensory mechanisms, it’s developing a handheld breathalyser that generates rapid results with extreme sensitivity and selectivity.

Extracellular is developing cell culture technologies to use the cell samples of living animals and plants to create sustainable alternatives to commercial products in the cosmetic, material and food industries. As a bioprocessing and manufacturing partner, it provides solutions from cell-line and scale-up development to facilitating routes to market, supporting other biotech companies seeking to develop greener consumer products such as cultivated meat, dairy products, leather, cotton and active ingredients for cosmetics.

Uplift360 is developing chemical-based regeneration technologies to recover and reuse critical industrial materials such as carbon fibre and aramid. Its vision is to lead the way in circular economy innovation, creating a future where advanced materials are never wasted.
