First project for entrepreneurs at Science Creates which provide valuable start-up incubator laboratories at this new development in St. Philip’s Marsh In Bristol’s Temple Quarter.

Unit DX is a science incubator in central Bristol, home to 37 science and engineering companies. It was set up by the founders of another start-up, Ziylo, after recognising that there was no home for science companies in Bristol.

Unit DX brings together specialist facilities with science-focused business support, and has been instrumental in retaining Bristol’s world-class scientific talent and research. The majority of companies at the incubator have a focus on bio-design and quantum technologies.

Unit DX is creating a new community by working with local schools to get them interested in science; by championing entrepreneurship at universities; and by directly supporting and housing early-stage science companies.

The space offers 10,000 sq ft serviced labs, with over 16 lab areas, certified to Bio Safety level 2, which are capable of housing over 100 scientists.

The facility utilises specialist ventilation systems to ensure appropriate air changes per hour and a comfortable working environment, as well as central stores and nitrogen gas.

Custom fit-out options and storage space allow future installation of clean rooms and large equipment.
