Supporting the next generation of life science innovators

Founded and developed at the Babraham Research Campus in 2018, Accelerate@Babraham, the Campus’ pre-seed company support programme, was created out of a desire to support and nurture early-stage life science ventures attempting to navigate this tough and fast-moving sector.

The year long programme, which offers five early-stage life science start-ups the chance to join the Babraham Research Campus community, brings to bear an unrivalled network of experts, mentors, investors, data-driven business support, lab space and funding to equip new enterprises with the skills, confidence, connections to enable success.

8 Week ‘Taught’ Programme | Concentrated, intense, potentially life-changing
5 Life Science Start-ups | A competitive and rigorous selection process – only 5 will make it
Lab Space & Equipment | 12 months access to free lab space and support to stress test your science
Expert Mentoring & Support | Challenge and be challenged by those that have been there and done it before
£10,000 Cash Prize | No strings attached non-dilutive funding, spend it wisely!

The final pitches will be presented to a panel of expert judges and the winning company will be awarded the grand prize of £10,000.

CIC’s Dr Anne Horgan is delighted to be included in this year’s judging panel.
