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.

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.

STL is leveraging its deep sector expertise as a venture builder to unlock the true value of innovation. Working alongside a network of investors and service providers, its strategic commercialisation process helps its customers build IP-led businesses that are viable and sustainable. It does this by applying streamlined entrepreneurial capabilities, in-house engineering and end-to-end due diligence for ventures bringing new technologies to life from basic concept to prototype demonstration, enhancing their growth and scalability.

Scarlet Therapeutics is developing a proprietary platform that generates novel red blood cell-based therapeutics (tRBCs) to treat a wide range of diseases. Its technologies are underpinned by learnings from decades of research including the groundbreaking RESTORE clinical study run by NHS Blood and Transplant and the University of Bristol, investigating transfusion of lab-grown blood into patients. By generating tRBCs with high levels of therapeutic proteins from cell lines rather than from donated stem cells, Scarlet Therapeutics aims to address significant efficacy and manufacturing issues faced in the field.

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.
