The ScienceCreates Engineering Biology Accelerator is a unique 9-week hybrid-learning programme which supports the training, growth and success of 24 early-stage founders in Engineering Biology, in partnership with the UKRI.ScienceCreates is a Bristol-based deeptech ecosystem which exists to solve the world's greatest challenges in human and planetary health. The ScienceCreates ecosystem supports scientists to become successful entrepreneurs, translating their research discoveries into real-world inventions. With over 40 deeptech companies, 45,000 sqft of lab space and a VC fund, an accelerator to support the next generation of Engineering Biology founders is a key element of our growing ecosystem. Our accelerator provides founders with intensive business training, tailored 1:1 support and the opportunity to grow through non-dilutive and equity funding. The programme unites the collective expertise of 7 delivery partners and connects successful applicants to a wider network of over 40 companies and 11 strategic partners. Through the framework of the accelerator, candidates advance their IP strategy, technology roadmap, legal requirements, investor readiness, grant eligibility, leadership development and company brand, with bespoke support provided throughout. The accelerator is open to both individuals looking to launch a company and existing founders with Engineering Biology start-ups in their very early stages. Founders are supported to launch and grow their deeptech companies in the UK within the timeframe of the accelerator; those who do are then eligible to apply for equity-free feasibility funding from UKRI and the opportunity to pitch to a network of investors. Our first cohort comprised 24 individuals, 5 of which incorporated companies within the timeframe of the accelerator. Others advanced their existing early-stage companies with £2.85 M in grant applications submitted, £101,500 grant funding secured (2 companies), £550,000 equity funding raised (1 company) and £167,500 awarded as prizes (3 candidates) during the programme (September - November 2023).Through the accelerator, ScienceCreates is building a network of founders, mentors, partners, advisors and investors for the growing field of Engineering Biology.To increase impact at the end of the training programme, we have partnered with Thermo Fisher Scientific to create a lab space within our existing incubators which will provide 4-6 benches for graduates of our Eng Bio accelerator to deliver their R&D work.

ScienceCreates 工程生物学加速器是一个独特的为期 9 周的混合学习计划，与 UKRI 合作，支持 24 名工程生物学早期创始人的培训、成长和成功。ScienceCreates 是一个位于布里斯托尔的深度科技生态系统，旨在ScienceCreates 生态系统支持科学家成为成功的企业家，将他们的研究发现转化为现实世界的发明，拥有 40 多家深度科技公司。 45,000 平方英尺的实验室空间和风险投资基金是支持下一代工程生物学创始人的加速器，是我们不断发展的生态系统的关键要素。我们的加速器为创始人提供密集的业务培训、量身定制的 1:1 支持和成长机会。该计划汇集了 7 个交付合作伙伴的集体专业知识，并通过该框架将成功的申请人与 40 多家公司和 11 个战略合作伙伴组成的更广泛的网络联系起来。加速器，候选人推进他们的知识产权战略，技术路线图，法律要求，投资者准备，资助资格，领导力发展和公司品牌，并提供定制支持整个加速器向希望创办公司的个人和具有工程生物学的现有创始人开放。支持处于早期阶段的初创企业在加速器的时间内在英国创办和发展其深度科技公司，然后有资格申请 UKRI 的无股权可行性融资和推介机会；到一个网络我们的第一批投资者包括 24 名个人，其中 5 家是在加速器期限内成立的公司，其他人则提交了 285 万英镑的赠款申请，获得了 101,500 英镑的赠款资金（2 家公司），55 万英镑。项目期间（2023 年 9 月至 11 月）筹集了股权资金（1 家公司）并颁发了 167,500 英镑作为奖品（3 名候选人）。作为加速器，ScienceCreates 正在为不断发展的工程生物学领域建立一个由创始人、导师、合作伙伴、顾问和投资者组成的网络。为了增加培训计划结束时的影响力，我们与 Thermo Fisher Scientific 合作，在我们的实验室内创建了一个实验室空间。现有的孵化器将为我们的工程生物加速器的毕业生提供 4-6 个长凳，以开展他们的研发工作。
