BBSRC has invested £33m in UKI2S’ EngBio fund, acting as a pathway in research and commercialisation in the EngBio sector.
EngBio has a huge potency and potential to be beneficial to society; driving economic growth and importantly, protecting the planet.
Here’s Nick Bassett, Associate Director of Innovation for BBSRC sharing what makes UKI2S special 👇
“UKI2S works much earlier with academics and early-stage companies to refine and turn them into investable propositions…The model of UKI2S is to syndicate with other investments to draw private investment and to create long-term runways of finance for businesses to up-scale.”

🎤Alright! Tomorrow, I'll be taking the stage for 6 minutes again :-)
🎯3min to present MuWind. Our Mission and how everything we do revolves around it.
❓+3min of Q&A
🤔Most people have preconceived ideas of #smallwindturbines.
It ranges from:
😐 "we should cover every m² of the world with it" to
😑 "they are responsible for the extinction of Wooly Mammoths".
😅 So this format is very challenging to reframe the situation and potential of #SWT
🥇If we win, the financial prize should enable us to replace the beton blocks with an anchoring system, therefore reducing the total carbon footprint of the turbine by approx. 80% and making it usablea in even more isolated areas.
