  • Our Monthly Update - March 2025 | Sciopolis

    31 Mar 2025 Our Monthly Update - March 2025 It's nearly April, and just as the transition from winter to spring brings about significant changes in nature, our business has experienced a similar transformation this month. March has brought us a variety of opportunities and has allowed us to explore new locations, meet new people, and seize new opportunities. We started at the HS2 “From Trains to Cranes” event, where we heard some positive updates on HS2 getting back on track, and what effect it is already having- and is expected to have- on the Old Oak area (North Acton, West London). This is arguably London’s most exciting development, and Sciopolis was glad to be mentioned by Alice Sewell, Investment Director at Imperial, in regard to our future involvement in the area. More on this soon. HS2 Event: From Trains to Cranes, in Old Oak (North Acton) We were finally able to announce our exciting appointment as Development Advisors to The Crown estate on the Origin’s Pilot project at Cambridge Business Park. Whilst in the feasibility stage of the project, we are looking forward to exploring how this new Innovation Hub could reposition the area and be a catalyst for a brand new Cleantech community in Cambridge North. Read more here . CGI of Origin building, Cambridge Business Park The Bisnow UK Life Sciences Real Estate Conference in London gave us an interesting update on labs (getting more efficient and requiring less space, getting more automated, but there’s still not enough of them). Our team also attended the Climate Challenge 2025 Awards in Cambridge with CISL (Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership) where we caught a glimpse of the brilliance of the Cambridge ecosystem, and the vast array of climate solutions that are coming out of it. Our Chairman Mark Sanders reacted to the news that UK Life Sciences are missing out on £15bn a year to global competitors. This is concerning news, and we believe that the government should invest on the right infrastructure to retain innovators, increasing their chances to attract investment, develop their ideas and make it through their commercialisation journey. You can read Mark's views here And finally we spent time doing what we like best: connecting people with solutions that will advance their discovery and growth. And no better place for that than the Park Royal Design District, a hidden gem 5 mins away from North Acton's tube station, where a community of artists and makers, and a bunch of scientists are coming together in a very organic way. It was great to introduce some friends from nearby White City Innovation District to Johnny Brewin, knowing he will absorb them into the fabric of this community in no time.

  • Great science needs great people: introducing Talentmark | Sciopolis

    18 May 2026 Great science needs great people: introducing Talentmark Building a high-performing team is one of the most critical and challenging parts of scaling an early-stage science company. We know this not just from personal experience, but from the founders we've spoken to directly. In our recent research with London science and technology founders, one message came through clearly: the best innovation hubs don't just provide space. They actively support and help their tenants to succeed. "When we look for space, we’re less worried about the building, we’re more interested in how can you help us?" COO, Medtech company That question sits at the heart of what we're creating at Sciopolis, and one of the most important answers is this: we're building an ecosystem designed to help our tenants develop their technology and build their business. And one key aspect is to help them find, attract and grow the teams they need. A community of diverse companies needs diverse talent pathways Our tenants will come from many different scientific disciplines: life sciences, clinical research, cleantech, chemistry etc — at different stages of growth, with very different hiring needs. The founding team of a medtech startup has entirely different requirements to a chemistry company scaling its technical function, or a drug discovery business hiring its first commercial lead. Our research showed that early-stage founders in particular feel this acutely: they need access to talent, community and networks all at once, and the right connections matter enormously. And that's exactly what we're building, through multiple strands: Imperial College London & other universities: connecting our tenants with world-class graduate and postgraduate talent from the UK's leading research institutions Local Colleges, creating pathways for local talent into our community, supporting skills development and widening access to the life sciences and chemical sectors Local talent placement — investing in the communities around us and building sustainable pipelines that reflect the diversity of west London And now.. Talentmark , a specialist recruitment partner serving the life science, clinical and chemical sectors, bringing dedicated expertise in scientific, technical and commercial hiring Why specialist recruitment matters Our founders told us they don't want to feel like just another tenant. They want support that's genuinely invested in their outcomes: "As a founder, what I want first is really support. It's more knowing that you feel supported rather than you're going to have to pay a hefty fee for anything." — CEO, Cleantech company That's exactly the philosophy Talentmark brings. As a key strand in our talent ecosystem, they work consultatively, helping Sciopolis tenant companies define roles, shape hiring strategy and build teams for the long term. This isn't a transactional recruiter relationship. It's a genuine partner who understands the specific demands of life science, clinical and chemical hiring and who is focused on long-term outcomes, not just placements. As a Sciopolis member, with Talentmark you will have access to: Specialist recruitment across scientific, technical and commercial functions in life science, clinical and chemical sectors Flexible hiring solutions — permanent, interim or contract, aligned to your stage and needs A free initial consultation to assess your hiring needs and shape your talent strategy Salary benchmarking and real-time market insights to keep your hiring competitive An established network of high-quality, often passive, specialist talent Competitive rates , available following an initial discussion " We’re really excited about this partnership with Sciopolis and the opportunity to support companies from early concept through to scale. The stages may differ, but getting the right people in place at the right time is always critical. By embedding ourselves within this ecosystem, we can do more than just recruit – we can help define roles, provide real-time market insight, and connect founders to high-quality talent, including those who aren’t actively looking but are open to the right opportunity." Georgia Barnes, Client Development Manager, Talentmark Cat, Georgia and Charlie at Lab Live 2026 This is just the beginning Talent is consistently one of the biggest growth barriers for early-stage science companies and supporting our tenants means helping you build the teams that will drive your science forward. The Talentmark partnership is a strong next step in that mission and there is more to come as we continue to develop and expand these pathways. "I don't want it to be just a building." — Founder, Cleantech company Neither do we. Find out more about the ecosystem we are building at 1 Portal Way About Talentmark

  • Sciopolis (sai-op-o-liss) - What's in the name? | Sciopolis

    30 Nov 2023 Sciopolis (sai-op-o-liss) - What's in the name? The making of science was rarefied and hardly ever linked to the hustle and bustle of urban dwellings. This view was profoundly changed by the Covid crisis, which almost overnight rebranded Science as an urgent, highly relevant activity which necessitated the convergence of many strands: central and local Government impetus, joined-up talent pools, entrepreneurship, easy access to technology and equipment, laboratory space, and access to capital. Crucially, all of these ingredients required an element of physical proximity and connectivity to jell together in a timely fashion and to generate momentum. Covid made science sexy (demand for STEM courses is higher than it’s ever been) and propelled it from the peripheries to the centre, more specifically to city centres, where virtuous connections are more easily created. While Covid has waned and we have generally returned to normality, it remains clear that doing science in cities is here to stay, because of a number of benefits that make it a compelling choice for researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators alike. Hence the name we chose for our company, Sciopolis = Sci ence in the metr opolis. Our objective is to make “Science in the City” a success, by facilitating the construction and operationalisation of vibrant tech and science ecosystems. Easier recruitment: Access to top talent is the #1 problem for growing science companies. Aside from the simple fact that cities are exciting places which attract young people to live, work and play, they are also often home to world-class universities, hospitals and research institutions, as well as a diverse pool of skilled professionals with a wide range of expertise. Cities create an obvious centre of gravity where excellent talent can be more easily sourced. Easier collaboration: For the same reasons as above, it is also easier in cities to collaborate with top researchers, engineers, and other specialists, and to tap into a rich network of mentors, advisors, and investors. Cities offer more networking events, conferences, informal gatherings, etc. all of which bring together communities of like-minded people, providing more opportunities to connect and advance ideas. In particular this is most important for early-stage startups who face numerous challenges and uncertainties which - in the absence of a supportive and accessible community - they may struggle to solve by themselves. Easier access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources: Many cities have specialised research centres, state of the art hospitals, and other resources such as training and mentorship programs, that are specifically designed to support scientific research and development, and to accelerate the pace of innovation. The right equipment, at the right time, coupled with the right academic expertise can fast track scientific discovery. All of this is made easier when access between different institutions is facilitated by good transport infrastructure which is typically found in big cities, but also by the support of a landlord who makes the effort to create useful networks for their tenants to access directly. The logistics of access to institutions should not be underestimated. Easier to create stickiness: A vibrant environment with wrap-around support, excellent infrastructure and common amenities serviced by the public transport is critical to support scientific innovation. Nurseries are as vital as labs in the creation of stable scientific ecosystems, and choosing locations where – for example- young lab technicians (typically not the highest paid of professions) can live, work and play without driving long distances is key in creating a stable cluster, and increasing its long term stickiness where companies and people choose to ‘stick’ for the long term. Of course, doing science in metropolitan environments also comes with its own set of challenges and trade-offs. They can be expensive, competitive, and fast-paced places which can sometimes, and somewhat conversely, make it more difficult to attract and retain top talent, secure funding, and navigate complex regulatory environments. However, even taking these challenges into account, Sciopolis firmly believe that the opportunity and benefits of doing science in the city far outweigh the challenges. Ultimately we are absolutely convinced that creating flexible spaces to support the development of science activities in well connected metropolitan locations is a logical and strategic step which forms a key reason for our formation.

  • Base One hosts CarbonCell's plastic-free acoustic panels | Sciopolis

    BASE ONE THE BUILDING LAB SPACE Floorplans & Technical Specs OFFICE SPACE MEETING SPACE EVENT SPACE CAFE HOT DESK FAQS LOCATION COMMUNITY INCUBATOR INNOVATOR STORIES AVAILABILITY NEWS & INSIGHTS CONTACT Back to Sciopolis Base One hosts CarbonCell's plastic-free acoustic panels There's a wall at Base One doing more than decorating a space. It's showcasing a material that didn't exist in this form a few years ago: a plastic-free, biochar-based foam, built into an acoustic panel that absorbs not just sound, but carbon. It's the first product of its kind from Carbon Cell, an Imperial-connected startup, and we wanted to be the place where it made its debut. That's what "innovation in the building" means to us: not just sourcing sustainable materials, but giving early-stage, high-potential technology somewhere real to prove itself. The material: plastic-free foam from waste Carbon Cell panel: detail Here's the clever part. Carbon Cell's foam is made from biochar, a carbon-rich material produced from waste biomass through a process called pyrolysis. No plastic, no oil, no gas. It's a swap for the polymer foams, EPS and XPS, that quietly fill everything from parcel packaging to building insulation. Those conventional foams come at a real cost: they're made from fossil fuels, extractive to produce and hard to shift once they're waste. Carbon Cell's alternative provides the performance needed, at an affordable price point, while cutting the carbon story almost entirely. Replace just 10% of the foamed plastics used across the industry with this material and you save an estimated 838,00 tonnes of CO2e annually: that's not a rounding error, it's a real dent. From lab question to acoustic panel The investigation into Carbon Cell’s acoustic properties was supported by Innovate UK through funding looking at resource efficiency as part of the government’s Materials and Manufacturing Vision 2050. Considering the cell structure of Carbon Cell's foam, the fact that the material can be sourced from locally derived agricultural waste, and where the need for low-carbon, locally derived materials is strongest, acoustics turned out to be a natural fit. . Carbon Cell ran laboratory testing, then took the product into the field, refining the material, the panel's design and its internal lay-up, pushing the noise-reduction coefficient to 0.7. The result is a material that is not only sustainable but suited to taming a noisy open-plan office, or doing serious acoustic isolation within an internal or external wall system. Designed to compete, not just to comply The panels on show are second-round prototypes, refined for aesthetics, functionality and manufacturability from the first set of Innovate UK products. Foam inserts sit inside felt trim, framed in polished hardwax and pine, with a geometric pattern designed to work with the material's natural texture rather than disguise it, and tuned to attenuate certain frequencies within the office setting. The company is now at work on further refinements and accepting requests for trial and demo installations now. Benchmark it against the competition and Carbon Cell holds its own on weight, cost and acoustic performance, then pulls ahead decisively on carbon impact. Most "sustainable" alternatives ask designers to accept a trade-off somewhere. This one doesn't ask for one. Why Imperial, why here Carbon Cell's connection to Sciopolis runs straight through Imperial College London: the team are 2023 alumni of Imperial's Innovation Design Engineering Masters, run jointly with the Royal College of Art. As a building built to launch Imperial-connected ideas into the world, Base One was the obvious place to give their material its first real showcase. It's a small example of something we care about at scale: buildings shouldn't just house innovation, they should demonstrate it. What's next Carbon Cell are moving from lab-scale development toward integrated manufacturing and full product delivery. Follow their journey here to watch that happen.
