​Join us for the culminating event of Nucleate UK's Catalyse 2026 programme & our Biotech Career Fair - a showcase of emerging biotech talent, ideas, and opportunity.

​Catalyse Demo Day

​Catalyse is Nucleate UK’s open-access biotech education programme, designed for students and researchers taking their first steps into entrepreneurship. This year’s cohort includes participants from universities across the UK, who have spent recent weeks developing both scientific and entrepreneurial skills through lectures, workshops, and team-based projects.

​The day will feature flash talks, a panel discussion with founders and industry leaders, and live pitches from Build Track teams.

​Whether you've been part of the programme or are attending for the first time, this is a unique opportunity to meet the next generation of UK biotech founders, connect with life sciences companies offering internships, and be part of a growing community at the intersection of science and entrepreneurship.
