Accelerate

Our Deep Tech training engine — from ideas to impact

Specialist accelerator programmes, face-to-face learning events, webinars, resources — Accelerate is a framework that brings together all of Science Creates’ learning and development initiatives.

We design and deliver our programmes and events to match what Deep Tech teams need, wherever they are in their journey.

We work with commercial partners, universities, government bodies to design high-impact learning opportunities with an exceptional ROI.

Programmes

We design specialist training programmes to empower Deep Tech founders at every stage of their journey.

Whether you are at the idea stage or you are scaling up a company, we help founders and their teams take the next step with confidence.

Each of our programmes is tailored to entrepreneurs working in specific fields, so we can support their unique innovation needs.

Our government-funded flagship accelerator programme in engineering biology has supported two cohorts of innovators and the birth of 35 companies — with an ROI of 3.9x.

Event series

We curate topical thematic mini-series for the Deep Tech curious and entrepreneurially minded.

Each series is thoughtfully designed to explore a current topic spanning the intersections of groundbreaking scientific research, the world's greatest challenges and their impact on society.

Our events unite ambitious, curious and rebellious minds across science and technology, in an evening of insightful talks, thought-provoking conversation and community building.

Community training

We work with our member companies and partners to design and deliver a menu of professional development training options that support our members as they grow in size and scope.

Resources

Webinars, podcasts, book libraries or articles — we capture valuable resources and recordings from across the ecosystem to generate easily accessible educational content to support our members any time, anywhere.

Alumni testimonials

Joshua Rees-Garbutt

"The Engineering Biology Accelerator allowed me to actually leave academia, set up a company, and apply for funding — this wouldn't have been possible without the Science Creates Accelerate programme and the support of Science Creates' partners."

Kamila Malysz

“The Science Creates Accelerator was a great experience and gave me deep insights into the biotech startup world. It has helped me to transform from scientist to entrepreneur. I am amazed at how much my mindset has changed in just few months!"

Djordje Djordjevic

"The Engineering Biology Accelerator was awesome. It was perfectly tailored to me as a very early first time founder. Lots of demystifying, lots of useful insights and practical advice, lots of fun networking. The team at Science Creates and their partners are awesome. Don't hesitate to apply."
