About ClearGate Cambridge UK

Based in Cambridge, the ClearGate Innovation Translation Ecosystem was developed by science–industry experts to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and commercial success. We use New Product Development (NPD) as a shared language to accelerate the commercialization of new products, solutions, and technologies, with a particular focus on bio-innovation. The ecosystem brings together: 🔹 NPD Academy – Practical NPD training tailored for researchers, founders, and innovation-driven teams. 🔹 Bio-Innovation Translation (BIT) Network – Connecting academia, start-ups, industrial partners, and investors through networking, research–industry matching programmes, and facilitated introductions. 🔹 Translational Experts Platform – Innovation Translation Heroes with experience across academia, start-ups, and industry, providing practical support at every stage from idea to market. 🔹 NPD Systems for Science-Driven Teams – The first practical NPD frameworks tailored to research teams, helping accelerate the journey from idea to commercialisation while respecting the scientific process and creativity.
