Lifecare is committed to improving the lives of people and pets with diabetes. It is developing the next-generation of miniaturized and implantable nanobiosensors for correct and continuous monitoring of glucose and other biomarkers to the market. The company’s spin-off entity Lifecare Chemistry Ltd was founded to enhance research collaboration and secure ownership of its improved analyte-specific chemical receptor developments.

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.

Kelpi is tackling plastic pollution by developing sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic packaging. It uses seaweed to create a unique bioplastic coating that provides a world-leading water barrier for new-generation packaging while being recyclable, biodegradable, and low carbon. By working with major food and drink, cosmetics and home care brands, Kelpi is already reducing reliance on fossil-fuel plastics and paving the way for a greener future in these industries.

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.

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.
