Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst is a leading location for companies to develop and commercialise cutting edge therapeutics.
Companies based at the Stevenage Campus employ over 3,500 people. The Campus is home to major organisations including GSK, the Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing Catapult, LifeArc and Cytiva alongside a growing cluster of start-up companies which together have raised £2.9bn in funding.
Located within the golden triangle and the academic centres of London, Cambridge and Oxford, SBC is ideally positioned for the translation and scale-up of cutting edge innovation.
The SBC team have been an invaluable source of support over the years, particularly during the pandemic and subsequent lockdown. Innovative SMEs in the UK bioscience space could not flourish without the right supportive infrastructure, something SBC have excelled at.

The vibrant ecosystem is based on bringing together a range of organisations throughout the innovation pipeline from start-ups to major multinationals. This has created an exciting, knowledgeable and collegiate community where interaction and collaboration are the norm.
Organisations joining the campus must have a focus on research, products or technologies that are relevant to the therapeutics industry and protected by a strong IP portfolio.
