Biotechnology incubator

The Biotechnology Incubator will be a highly specified, serviced laboratory facility to house new and innovative companies, to stimulate the growing entrepreneurial culture in the biomedical sector in the region.

The Incubator will be the first building in the Park's phased development and will provide a unique opportunity to support business growth from University and Medical sectors and their biomedical research excellence. Aiming to bring together like minded, emerging commercial businesses, it will create a facility for companies to grow on-site, forming a vibrant commercial biomedical cluster.

It is envisaged that the Incubator will include:

  • Physical space: a range of flexible units that facilitates growth from initial start-ups
  • Infrastructure: high connectivity linked to a service core that provides the requirements to service dry and wet laboratories
  • Meeting and conference rooms: a serviced suite of rooms including social interaction rooms
  • Support services: to include reception, secretarial, mail, IT support, business development, IP/copy right, funding and grants
  • Networking: through academic and research links, UKSPA, promoting international links and staging high profile events
  • Business support: links with local businesses, Business Link and Chamber of Commerce to support business ethos and provide links to business development skills and funding sources
