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.
Tolemy Bio is enabling the future of cell and gene therapy with precision-designed custom media solutions. Using artificial intelligence, machine learning and data-driven insights, it designs and manufactures tailored cell culture media to enhance specific therapy production and accelerate R&D timelines. Its approach enhances cell growth, improves yields and drives better outcomes for next-generation therapies, from discovery to clinical development.
Zentraxa is precision engineering biomaterials, pushing the boundaries of biopolymer synthesis to develop sustainable, performance-enhancing ingredients for everyday products. Its proprietary technological platform (Zentide) overcomes the biodesign limits of existing, conventional peptide synthesis by designing, producing and testing complex, novel peptides with one universal process. Zentraxa creates bespoke solutions for a range of industries by combining key features from different naturally-occurring proteins, such as stiffness, adhesion or thermal stability.
Kelpi is tackling plastic pollution by developing sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic packaging. It uses seaweed to create a unique bioplastic coating that provides a world-leading water barrier for new-generation packaging while being recyclable, biodegradable, and low carbon. By working with major food and drink, cosmetics and home care brands, Kelpi is already reducing reliance on fossil-fuel plastics and paving the way for a greener future in these industries.
Our versatile spaces can welcome a variety of events, from small meetings to 60-person seminars including catering and a fully licensed bar.
