Take a look to see how we’ve helped businesses grow
Engineering Biology
Antiverse is a techbio company designing antibodies for challenging drug targets like G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels. Embedded in cell membranes, GPCRs are difficult to purify– an essential step required to design antibodies against them.
Partner Innovation
Across Europe and Asia’s busiest and most prestigious airports, Cobalt Light Systems’ technology is installed into security checkpoint operations to rapidly screen liquids for explosives and other potential threat materials.
Defence & Security
As global efforts to tackle climate change ramp up, startup HonuWorx has its sights set on subsea. With its advanced tech, the company hopes to deliver something no other organisation has successfully achieved.
Every year, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) claims the lives of over a million people globally. The delay in effective diagnosis is a major contributing factor, as traditional Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) methods take 48-72 hours to yield results.
Fusion
Imagine a future where industry, the backbone of society, is revitalised. The rising costs of labour and energy and a retiring workforce are significant cross-sector industrial challenges.
Space
How do you become the global leader in deployable antennas for space? Create a range of low cost, high performance, unfurlable antennas offering global coverage and redundancy.
Knowledge Assets
As the UK healthcare system struggles to keep pace with the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) crisis (identified by the World Health Organisation as one of the top 10 global public health threats).
Revolver Therapeutics is at the forefront of a revolution in cancer treatment. By targeting transcription factors with innovative peptide-based therapeutics, the company is opening a new frontier in addressing previously untreatable cancers. With UKI2S backing and a clear focus on delivering impactful solutions, Revolver is poised to make a lasting difference in the fight against childhood gliomas and beyond.
Military teams on battlefields across the globe rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GPS to execute their missions. There’s a rise in GNSS-denied environments though, which means that electronic warfare has become one of the most significant threats to military operations today.
It’s predicted that 208.3 million people will experience high levels of acute food insecurity in 2024. And with the global population projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, that figure is only going to increase.
Biology will change the world. With it, we can feed, heal, and fuel people for generations to come. But enroute to these novel products, the research and development is complex, risky and costly.
The world faces multiple challenges in the energy sector over the next half century, and one of the most difficult questions is how to provide sufficient “baseload” power. The sector badly needs to wean itself off hydrocarbons but renewables such as wind and solar are not the whole answer.
From food ingredients to personal care products, many of the products and services we rely on day to day are powered by fossil fuels and intensive farming. Unfortunately this is no longer sustainable — if we’re to meet the challenges of global warming and achieve net zero.
