The University of Bath Innovation Centre is a place where ambitious people come together to build brilliant businesses. Whether you're a solo founder with a spark of an idea or a growing team tackling your next big challenge, you’ll find tailored support, expert insight, and a community that genuinely cares about what you're building.

You don’t need a university connection to be part of it – just curiosity, drive, and the willingness to get involved. We work with founders from all backgrounds and stages, offering space to think, people to learn from, and the kind of honest conversations that help turn uncertainty into progress.

With the backing of the University of Bath and the award-winning SETsquared Partnership, our team is here to help you stay focused, make meaningful connections, and grow something that lasts.
