Surgery used to be a gory and risky affair. Today, they are routinely performed by robotic assistants. We saw first-hand the impact this is having at Southmead Hospital @NorthBristolNHS 🤖🏥

The countdown is on for England vs Italy in #euro2025 – let’s hope the #Lionesses get the job done in 90 mins but juuust in case, we’ve taken a quick look at the mathematics behind the penalties, just like #Lioness Lucy Bronze did to help secure the win against Sweden! 🧪⚽

The Greenhouse is unique, offering climate innovators up to £20k equity-free grant funding, world-class facilities, a thriving ecosystem & expert mentorship. But don't take our word for it, take a look at what our alumni say about why you should apply!⤵️ tinyurl.com/8pc7d2ar
The Greenhouse is special in that it caters to Climate Tech start ups specifically, acknowledging the nuances and complexity of balancing business, innovation and impact. And the non-dilutive funding was a game-changer... I’d strongly encourage any early-stage climate founders to apply for Cohort 9! Renuka Ramanujam Founder of HUID The Greenhouse Cohort 7

The Greenhouse was instrumental in clarifying our go-to-market approach and refining our business case and financial model.... As an alumni of the programme, I now have a network of incredible experts and founders I can tap into instantaneously, the benefits of which will continue on far beyond the programme. I cannot recommend The Greenhouse enough! Alex Park Founder of Biofonic The Greenhouse Cohort 7
