The innovation hideaway backs Penzance’s professional side, and sets out to reimagine what sport eats, wears and plays in. Innovation Nursery, the innovation hideaway, has been named exclusive innovation partner of the Cornish Pirates for the 2026/27 season. Professional sport is a collision. People, emotion, excitement and invention, all under one roof, every match day. That is the room Innovation Nursery exists to build, so Innovation Nursery is backing the Pirates and getting to work. Innovation Nursery works across three areas at all times: food, materials and the built environment. Rugby lives in all three. What players grow and eat decides how they perform. The materials in a jersey and a boot decide how long they last. The stadium decides what the crowd feels on a Saturday afternoon. Put those questions to a professional club and the answers get tested in the wind and the salt, in front of a live crowd, week after week. John Brown, Managing Director of Innovation Nursery, said: “We’re proudly sponsoring the Cornish Pirates and becoming their exclusive innovation partner because professional sport brings a collision of people, emotion, excitement and innovation together under one roof. From what we grow and eat for better nutrition and performance, to the materials used to create kit, to the stadiums we build, this is our work playing out in front of a crowd. We’re delighted to develop a relationship with this iconic team and to reimagine with them what the future of sport might look like for generations to come. And we look forward to raising a glass to a successful season from the Innovation Nursery stand.” Sally Pettipher, Chief Executive Officer of the Cornish Pirates, said: “The Pirates have always been a Cornish club with ambition well beyond our postcode. Innovation Nursery is building something here in Cornwall that the rest of the world will want to visit, and we’re proud to be the team they’ve chosen to build it with. Our supporters will see what comes of it on the pitch and around the ground.” The two organisations will work together across the 2026/27 season, with plans already in motion for joint projects and content that put the club’s players, coaches and supporters alongside the founders and scientists rethinking how we live.
