CPI has announced a strategic partnership with XeleratedFifty to help accelerate the commercialisation of UK deep tech innovation and connect high-potential businesses with international markets, investment and commercial opportunities.

The collaboration brings together CPI’s technical expertise, translational R&D capabilities and world-class innovation infrastructure with XeleratedFifty’s global network of investors, corporates and government partners. Together, CPI and XeleratedFifty will support the growth of innovative UK companies by helping them scale internationally and bring transformative technologies to market faster.

The partnership reflects a shared ambition to strengthen the UK’s innovation ecosystem by combining technical excellence with commercial expertise. Together, the organisations will help ambitious companies navigate international markets and accelerate the development of technologies that address global challenges.

Initially, the collaboration will focus on creating new opportunities for UK deep tech businesses across key international markets, including the United States, Canada, the UAE, India and Southeast Asia. It will also include joint participation at major international events and the hosting of inward delegations, showcasing UK innovation to investors, governments and industry leaders from around the world.

The partnership strengthens CPI’s commitment to helping businesses bridge the gap between research and commercial success, enabling UK innovation to deliver economic growth, improve resilience and create global impact.

CPI operates more than £180 million of world-class research and development assets across its innovation centres, supporting businesses in areas including sustainable materials and engineering biology. Through this collaboration, CPI will work alongside XeleratedFifty, which has a global track record of scaling and commercialising breakthrough technologies, to provide UK innovators with greater access to international customers, strategic partners and investment opportunities.

I’ve worked in hospitals for years and believe that clinicians come up with lots of innovative ways to do things better. The stumbling block is getting them to come to fruition. I was looking for people to help me out, struggling, thinking this is never going to happen. CPI listened, they got it, and they’ve made it a reality.
