An insight into Science Creates
Founded by exited entrepreneurs, Science Creates is a Deep Tech ecosystem that enables scientists and engineers to turn their groundbreaking discoveries into disruptive businesses that can revolutionise the health of people and the planet.
We support our startup community with specialised lab space, expert training and mentoring, a network of partner organisations, and access to investment opportunities.
Through our independent charity and public events, we inspire the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs.
Our ethos
We believe the next big breakthroughs will emerge at the intersection of fields like quantum, AI, and biotechnology — and that spinouts are the most powerful way to turn those innovations into global impact.
The first step is empowering those at the forefront of knowledge with the right infrastructure, training, resources and investment.
Science Creates is laying the foundations for bold ideas and innovation to thrive and scale, nationwide.
CoED Biosciences is transforming human tissue separation for adoptive cell therapy and research purposes. Its Column of Expansion and Differentiation (CoED) device harnesses the power of chemotaxis and gravity to gently purify and extract immune cells from blood or tumour biopsies. The process preserves both the integrity and functionality of the tissues without the need for magnets or centrifugation, saving valuable time and resources.
Lux Biotech is harnessing microbial bioluminescence to use waste to treat pollution. Its novel, carbon-negative platform, derived from effluents, generates products that are more cost-effective and sustainable than traditional biotech offerings.
Replica Biomaterials is paving the way for a greener, more ethical future by creating high-quality, sustainable leather alternatives for the fashion industry. Pushing the boundaries of material science, it develops biomaterials using microbes to then produce lab-grown leather that is animal and petrochemical free. By innovating responsibly, it ensures its products are both luxurious and environmentally friendly.
Our focus
Deep Tech refers to innovations based on major breakthroughs in science and engineering, often built on years of research and proprietary technology to solve global challenges. Unlike regular tech, it focuses on transformative, long-term solutions in fields like AI, quantum, synthetic biology and advanced materials.
Deep Tech has the power to revolutionise industries, create new markets, and improve lives. From AI-driven healthcare to sustainable energy and quantum technologies, it tackles critical global issues.
We specialise in Deep Tech for its potential to drive systemic change and create significant impact, providing patient capital and strategic support to turn groundbreaking ideas into scalable businesses.
Designed for flexibility, our new 30,000 sq ft of lab, office, and meeting space for startups and scaleups is set to open in late 2025 in Bristol’s city centre.
Applications to join our bespoke, fully-funded programme delivered in partnership with the UKRI are now open.
We invest in Deep Tech at the pre-seed and seed stages — and our endgame is global impact.
Available for hire for those working in the innovation sector, our versatile spaces can welcome a variety of events.
