Connecting and empowering Deep Tech

Sparking curiosity in STEM and entrepreneurship

Our ethos

We believe scientists make great entrepreneurs

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.

Our ecosystem

We have supportedover 150 startups working to improve the health of people and the planet

PicturaBio

Pictura Bio is creating a rapid pathogen detection platform to scale diagnostics for infectious diseases at the point of care. Combining the power of single-molecule fluorescent microscopy with machine learning and optical engineering, its patented technology is able to identify an array of pathogens in under a minute. This enables faster, affordable and universally accessible diagnostics to accurately determine the causes of infections.

Nellie Technologies

Nellie Technologies is bioengineering carbon dioxide removal systems to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. It uses proprietary biological and mechanical engineering to capture carbon dioxide and convert it to biomass, and then to biochar and biogenic aggregates. Its system is designed to operate at speed and scale while delivering sustainable, affordable and effective carbon removal.

Biofuel Evolution

Biofuel Evolution is driving the process industries’ transition towards net-zero to fuel a circular bio-economy. Its flagship product BEBlock harnesses the power of data analytics, microbial consortia and bio-electrochemical systems to transform food and organic waste into sustainable bio-based products. By developing a decentralised or localised system, its unique solution addresses critical environmental challenges by eliminating the need for energy-intensive biomass and carbon-intensive feedstock logistics.

Our focus

Why Deep Tech?

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.
