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.
Designed for flexibility, OMX, our new 30,000 sq ft of lab, office, and meeting space for startups and scaleups is now ready to take new tenants.
We currently welcome applications from service providers working in legal, IT, grants, cloud, bespoke software and marketing.
We invest in Deep Tech at the pre-seed and seed stages — and our endgame is global impact.
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, engineering biology and advanced materials — the UK government's designated frontier industries.
Deep Tech can revolutionise entire industries, create high-skilled jobs and unlock new economic growth while improving lives.
We specialise in Deep Tech because the social, environmental and economic returns are proportional to the ambition. It demands patient capital and deep technical understanding, and that's exactly what we're built to provide.
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.
Glaia is developing innovative solutions to optimise agricultural plant performance to help food security and fight climate change. Using disruptive technology, its sustainable agrochemicals unlock the potential of the photosynthetic process, enabling plant cells to more efficiently convert energy to biomass to increase crop yields without increasing inputs. This results in greater profits for growers and reduced greenhouse emissions, delivering more sustainable global food production.
EnsiliTech is improving the shelf-life and global accessibility of vaccines and other biological therapeutics by combatting cold chain transport and storage issues. Its novel ensilication technology, designed for both existing and new biopharmaceutical formulations, encases thermally unstable biomolecules within silica nanoshells to prevent environmental degradation. This eliminates the need for cold chain requirements that are expensive, prone to failure and generate significant carbon dioxide emissions.
Our versatile spaces can welcome a variety of events, from small meetings to 60-person seminars including catering and a fully licensed bar.
Over 75,000 sq ft of specialist lab, office and events space, designed for Deep Tech.
Bespoke training, resources and partnerships to empower and connect the Deep Tech community.
Early-stage investment for Deep Tech startups — by founders, for founders.
Sparking curiosity and lifelong engagement with STEM and entrepreneurship.
