Our life science and tech-focused locations keep science at their core. As well as offering beautiful spaces to work from, we invest in creating the optimal environment so you can focus on running your business. Attracting and retaining talented staff is easier thanks to perks like in-house coffee shops, exercise classes, social events and discounts at local gyms and restaurants.

Pioneer Group is the UK’s most sector-focused and connected life science ecosystem. Entrepreneurs, investors, experts, academics, industries and associations come together at Pioneer. We act as your matchmaker, connecting entrepreneurs who have questions with experts who not only have the answers but can open doors, make introductions and identify opportunities; to help businesses thrive.

For start-ups, spin-offs and scale-ups, we coach entrepreneurialism at every stage, from idea to exit. We bring a hands-on, tailored approach to getting your business off to the best possible start. For nearly 20 years, we’ve been supporting founders to transfer cutting-edge technologies into visionary ventures that scale.

We operate several funds that invest in young businesses and specialise in pre-seed and seed funding. We like to get involved early. We provide vital life sciences funding primarily to companies we have worked with through our Accelerator Programme or companies based at one of our sites across the UK. That way, we get to know the people, technology and business well before investing.
