We’re excited to welcome Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) as the latest addition to our drop-in partner programme at Sheffield Technology Parks. Their first session takes place on 15 October 2025.

MDC is part of the Innovate UK Catapult Network, helping UK-based SMEs, spinouts and early-stage innovators in medicines discovery and healthtech turn science into better treatments for patients. Their team offers specialist expertise in areas such as cellular sciences, translational imaging, biomarkers and R&D consultancy, supporting start-ups from early-stage ideas through to market-ready products.

The drop-in sessions are ideal for:

• Start-ups developing medicines discovery or healthtech solutions to address real healthcare needs

• Entrepreneurs establishing new SMEs in this space

• Early-stage companies looking for advice on funding strategies and investment opportunities

Drop-in sessions with MDC are open to the South Yorkshire startup community. You’ll be able to meet with Nicole Stone, neuroscientist, pharmacologist and part of MDC’s R&D consultancy team, who brings over eight years of drug discovery expertise from biotech, CRO and academic settings.
