CellVoyant

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.

Extracellular

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.

Hone Bio

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.

Herd Climate CIC

Herd Climate is a not-for-profit addressing the pressing agricultural challenge of enteric methane emissions produced by farming animals.
