Set to open in 2026, OMX will offer the much-needed lab space in Bristol that scaling Deep Tech companies often struggle to find — and it will do so within the supportive, well-connected ecosystem built by Science Creates.
Join our community of scientific entrepreneurs developing technologies that include groundbreaking cancer treatments, enhanced battery technologies and seaweed-based biomaterials.
Located in the heart of Bristol and connected to our Old Market incubator, OMX is designed with the specialised services and features that Deep Tech R&D demands, plus the flexibility that growing ventures need.
With 30,000 sq ft of lab, office and meeting space, OMX offers a range of options depending on the size of your company — from lab-only options to renting full suites including two labs and a private office.
Membership includes access to our platform of support, providing opportunities to attend workshops and events, connect with other founders, and find a mentor.
Discover the lab space that's available to rent in our newest Bristol incubator and discuss your scaling startup needs with our team today.

GenomeKey is transforming how healthcare clinicians diagnose and treat infections like sepsis to improve patient outcomes. Using cutting-edge machine learning and DNA sequencing, the company is developing a next-generation diagnostic device to identify bacterial genomes and determine their antimicrobial susceptibility directly from patient blood in just a few hours, rather than days. This enables clinicians to prescribe the right antibiotics for patients with much more efficiency and accuracy, reducing costs, minimising unnecessary antibiotic use and ultimately saving millions of lives from the world’s leading cause of death.
neo-fossil is developing new technology using cell engineering to help reverse the threat of climate change. By optimising biology, it is creating new fossils that harvest atmospheric carbon dioxide, storing it for centuries.
Folium Science is increasing agricultural productivity by enhancing animal welfare and feed efficiency in livestock farming while reducing environmental impact. Its unique CRISPR-Cas technology platform harnesses natural biological systems to safely modulate animal microbiomes by regulating metabolic functions and targeting unwanted bacteria with extreme precision. This approach helps reduce reliance on antibiotics and can be applied to both plants and soil to improve their bacterial biomes for optimal growing conditions.
NuNano is advancing the field of atomic force microscopy with high-precision probes for nanometer-scale imaging. Its proprietary microfabrication processes produce reliable, high-quality probes with market-leading dimensional tolerances. It also provides dedicated support to its customers, from probe selection to storage, for a seamless user experience.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Transdermal Diagnostics is pioneering the development of bio-wearables that enhance the prevention, diagnosis and management of chronic conditions like diabetes. Its unique sensing technology aims to create the world’s first needle-free continuous monitor for glucose and other health biomarkers. By analysing hair follicles, the adhesive skin patch and transmitter wirelessly communicate information straight to a smartphone app, facilitating a transformative shift in patient care and quality of life for those with diabetes.
