Ashley Brewer, Head of Incubators at Science Creates, and Patrick Page Fallon, Head of Developments, spoke to BI Foresight about how our bottom-up approach aims to shape the innovation strategy nationally, and why OMX — our third incubator — is a key part of that vision. 📖 Read Marc Ambasna-Jones' article exploring how our founder-led model could offer a blueprint for scaling Deep Tech across the UK.
Is the UK Serious About Deep Tech - or Just Happy to Watch It Leave? We have world-class science. We have founders ready to take the hardest, longest bets. Yet too many UK deep tech ventures still stall out – or get sold overseas – not because the ideas aren’t good enough, but because the infrastructure to scale simply isn’t there. Bristol’s Science Creates, working with University of Bristol and SETsquared Partnership, is building a different future. Its new OMX campus, opening in 2026, is a founder-designed, science-first space with high-spec labs, automation-ready facilities and access to patient capital via Science Creates Ventures. It’s a platform built around what deep tech companies really need to grow – policy put into practice. As GenomeKey’s Michael Roberts, “lab space is the difference between success and stalling.” For a 10-year, £100m mission to transform sepsis diagnostics, flexibility and access aren’t nice-to-haves – they’re survival. This is what it takes to keep UK science and talent building here, not somewhere else. The blueprint for national innovation isn’t just being written in Whitehall. It’s happening on the ground in Bristol. Find out more in the full article, in comments 👇 #DeepTech #UKInnovation #ScalingScience Harry Destecroix MBE Ashley Brewer
