About this event
Future Space puts one resident company on stage per edition, with founder insight, the behind-the-scenes story and a live product demo. This one spotlights Ferryx, a health-tech company developing a next generation of probiotics for chronic gut conditions. Its product Ferrocalm is described as the first probiotic designed to work during stress or an IBS flare-up, when conventional probiotics struggle; Future Space cites consumer trials in which 76 percent reported improvement in key IBS symptoms within eight weeks and 88 percent would take it again.
Run by Future Space, the high-tech incubator on the UWE Bristol campus, as the evolution of its Beer and Pizza nights. 16:00 to 18:00, deliberately relaxed, with beer, pizza and networking around the talk. No individual speakers are named beyond the Ferryx team.
Free to attend.
Why go: a rare chance to hear a research-born life sciences company explain the commercial path out of the lab, demo included. Best for deeptech and health founders, and for anyone tracking what comes out of UWE.
