Lot Information

Lot 1

Scientific breakthroughs alone won't lead to impact, this is why we're embedding science entrepreneurship into all that we do - from how we recruit our Programme Directors to our funding terms. We're now looking for Activation Partners to help catalyse entrepreneurial talent and venture creation across our opportunity spaces. Activation Partners will unlock latent ideas, empower talent, support new ventures, and provide insights and connectivity across our opportunity spaces. Success will be about more than just deliverables, partners will work alongside us to foster a culture of innovation that propels our opportunity spaces, and therefore the UK, towards massive social and economic impact. What we're looking for We don't have preconceptions about the types of organisation we'll work with or highly structured plans for what they'll do - the shape of these partnerships will be driven by the creativity, imagination, instincts and experience of our selected partners. You can be a nonprofit, startup, fellowship programme, deeptech investor, incubator/accelerator, venture creator, or something else entirely. Above all, we're looking for partners with a deeply technical focus, an appetite for the highly speculative and a commitment to operating as founder and scientist friendly.

Options: Additional funding, scope and duration could be added to any contracts awarded.
