Old Market & St Philips · Bristol

Science Creates.

labs + offices for deep tech

Science Creates is an incubator in Old Market & St Philips, Bristol. They publish no rates, so it starts as an enquiry rather than a comparison. Deep-tech and science founders who need labs, mentors and capital under one roof.

Where Bristol's science founders go. Three incubators now — St Philips, Old Market and the new OMX — with real wet labs, offices and a community built by founders for founders, plus its own deep-tech venture fund. If your startup needs a fume hood, this is the only entry on this list that has one.

Now three incubators, not two: OMX opened alongside St Philips and Old Market. Old Market has been listed as currently full.
