News and Updates

We're thrilled to announce that we've extended our commitment to sun bear conservation by sponsoring a Sun Bear for a second year – meet Kwong. As we bid farewell to Panda, who has found a new adoptive home, we eagerly welcome Kwong into our Sun Bear Biofuture family.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Siew Te Wong and the dedicated team at the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre for their unwavering dedication to the well-being of these remarkable animals. Their tireless efforts provide care for sun bears and strive to reintroduce them into their natural habitats.

We look forward to sharing updates on Kwong's journey throughout the year and continuing our support for the conservation of sun bears. Stay tuned for more updates! 🐾🌿

It’s been an amazing year. Starting from scratch. Raising our pre-seed investment, smashing it with grant wins from Innovate UK (5 in total), Go Create (supported by ERDF), Oxford Brookes, AberInnovation and more. Setting up our labs in Oxford. Growing the team to 7. Lots and lots of product development work in the lab and so much learning along the way. We can’t wait for 2024.

It’s sad to be finishing up the MassChallenge journey. We’ve met some fantastic startups focused on the environment and a network of amazing corporate partners, investors, mentors and of course the MC team. It has been a truly inspiring few months and we look forward to growing and developing the relationships we have only just started.
