- AmpliSi
AmpliSi provides scalable, safe and sustainable porous silicon for next-gen batteries for electrical vehicles and other high-capacity applications.
- Evolutor
Evolutor is a biotechnology company building vital infrastructure to produce market-leading microbial production hosts for the sustainable biomanufacture of chemicals, fuels, materials, food ingredients and beyond.
The company is developing proprietary technologies and molecular tools to fully harness the innate power of evolution for industrial use. Evolutor's ambition is to build the world's first massively parallelised evolutionary bio-foundry in Sheffield.
- Instruct3D
Instruct3D provides smart build files that increase the ability, efficiency and reliability of the additive manufacturing process. Its IP-rich software blends physics-based and data-driven simulations to improve the quality, productivity, and profitability of manufacturers.
- Kausalyze
Kausalyze provides software that prevents process downtime through root cause analysis with engineering-led AI.
- PelviSure
PelviSure has developed a medical device that provides a safe alternative to polypropylene meshes for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women.
- Perlemax
Perlemax technology enables the super-efficient generation of micro-sized bubbles of gas in a liquid, which can improve productivity and save energy across a wide spectrum of industrial processes.
- PHAsT
PHAsT deploys an eco-friendly bacterial fermentation technology to produce renewable and biodegradable polymers found in nature. These biopolymers are home and industrially compostable and will biodegrade if leaked to nature. Their innovative technology ensures low carbon footprint and assures sustainability and affordability. Their products are carefully designed to retain the benefits of traditional plastics while eliminating harmful effects on the environment.
- RNA Forge
RNA Forge bridges the critical gap in mRNA drug development by combining deep technical expertise with cutting edge manufacturing and analytical capabilities to accelerate their path from research to patient impact.
- ReNewFood
ReNewFood aims to enhance flavour of meat alternatives. The company utilises a technology called precision fermentation, essentially using microbes such as yeast as miniature protein factories to produce different flavouring ingredients ReNewFood will offer. This process is not only cost-effective and low resource intensive, it is scalable, meaning ReNewFood can provide great taste to alternative foods without sacrificing price.
- SilViA Bio
SilViA Bio deconstructs and analyses cell factories, identifying limiting bioproduction parameters and offering solutions to take biomanufacturing to the next level.
- SynGenSys
Synthetic Genetic Systems for safer and more effective next-generation biomedicines. SynGenSys are a growing company at the interface of cell and molecular biology, informatics and engineering. Their mission is to create innovative solutions for design and manufacture of next-generation medicines. SynGenSys Technology harnesses years of research and development with both academic and bio industrial partners.
