Last week we welcomed our network of strategic partners to Science Creates for a festive celebration, rounding off an incredible year for our ecosystem. The afternoon featured presentations from Head of Platform, Francis Lister, and Innovation Manager, Lucy McGowan, reflecting on the community’s achievements throughout 2024. Highlights included: Science Creates members launching new products, winning prestigious awards, and securing impressive pre-seed to Series A funding rounds as well as the graduation of 20 Engineering Biology entrepreneurs from Cohort 2.0 of our Accelerate programme. Looking ahead to 2025, we shared plans to open our third Bristol incubator, OMX, and vision to support even more Deep Tech ventures. We then wrapped up with an interactive, Christmas-themed quiz, followed by mulled wine and mince pies. Thank you all for contributing to the the growing success of our Deep Tech ecosystem throughout the year and joining us to celebrate. We look forward to building on this year’s success together for an even more impactful 2025.
