View in browser Enterprise newsletter NOVEMBER 2025 / THE SCIENCE SHAPING SOCIETY We’re harnessing Imperial’s innovation for global impact and entrepreneurship   We took home a big prize at the 2025 Times Higher Education Awards, as Imperial was named Outstanding Entrepreneurial University of the Year 2025 in recognition of our efforts in scaling science and taking West London to the world.     It’s a celebration of our thousands of students, researchers, entrepreneurs, partners, supporters and staff – everyone who works to make Imperial an extraordinary home for innovation and entrepreneurship Read more about the award and the ecosystem that won it Next in technology Modified insects could reduce disease and limit crop damage A method to control harmful insects in the wild using genome engineering techniques to reduce fertility has attracted $19 million in equity and funding awards. Spinout Biocentis, based on research from Imperial’s Department of Life Sciences, will use the funds to begin field trials in first targets including a mosquito responsible for transmitting dengue, Zika, yellow fever and chikungunya.  Biocentis raises $19m for modified insect approach to pest control Funding from GSK will accelerate AMR research 6 new programmes will address ‘Grand Challenges’ in antimicrobial resistance, harnessing leading science and the latest technologies, including advanced AI. Key themes include supercharging discovery of new antibiotics for Gram-negative bacterial infections and accelerating drug discovery to combat fungal infections like aspergillus.  GSK and Fleming Initiative scientists unite to target AMR with advanced AI Live events economy could be boosted by increased safety Reporti, a company founded by Imperial alumna Gracie Broom, has won the Venture Catalyst Challenge, Imperial’s flagship entrepreneurial competition. The company, which is developing a platform to increase live event safety, received the award after pitching at London’s Science Museum earlier this month.  Live events safety platform wins Imperial’s top entrepreneurship prize Recycled dyes could step off the catwalk Recycling the dye in discarded garments is tough enough, but providing the exact colour matching demanded by high-end fashion? That’s previously been impossible. But Imperial spinout Dye Recycle has managed it, and dyes produced by their innovative process featured at London Fashion Week earlier this year, as profiled by Vogue Italia.  STEM meets style: Imperial spinout showcased in leading fashion publication Eliminating cold-chain storage requirements could boost vaccine coverage  Cold-chain storage – the need to keep vaccines cold from production to delivery – has hampered the rollout of life-saving treatments in tropical and remote regions. A nanoparticle technology developed at Imperial’s Future Vaccine Manufacturing Research hub is looking to change that, and is the subject of a collaboration with GSK.  GSK extend collaboration to tackle global vaccine cold-chain limits ‘GPT for health’ boosted by one million hours of AI supercomputer time Nightingale AI, a project led by Imperial College London, aims to help scientists and medical specialists with applications like developing treatments, diagnosing patients and monitoring illness. Its ambitions have been boosted with the grant of a million hours of compute time on Isambard-AI, the UK’s most powerful AI supercomputer.  Health model Nightingale AI powers ahead with new supercomputer Robust wireless power transfer could change the way we approach space exploration A company founded by Imperial scientists will use its expertise in lightweight systems that deliver high power levels over a significant air gap to explore new ways to transmit power in outer space, working with MDA Space, thanks to a grant from the UK Space Agency.  Bumblebee Power aims to show wireless power can fly in space Collaborate.  Explore.
