Today’s experts supporting tomorrow’s innovators
Founded and developed at the Babraham Research Campus in 2018, Accelerate@Babraham was created out of a desire to support and nurture early-stage life science ventures attempting to navigate this tough and fast-moving sector.
The initiative is personal - many of those involved in delivering the programme have been there themselves, many times. The experiences of this group of incredibly skilled life science experts and mentors, combined with the additional wrap-around support, a unique framework to measure progress and our location, is what sets Accelerate@Babraham apart.
