Why Science Parks Are Ideal for Research Companies
Science parks are a desirable location for many research companies. They offer an environment where innovation, collaboration and growth thrive offering significant advantages to research-driven organisations, providing:

A Collaborative Ecosystem
Science parks encourage cross-sector partnerships and knowledge-sharing, driving groundbreaking discoveries. Many science parks host networking events, workshops and industry forums to strengthen collaboration.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Purpose-built labs and research spaces provide access to specialist infrastructure without the costs of independent facility development.
Access to Top Talent
Proximity to leading universities and research institutions offers access to highly skilled graduates and academic partnerships.
Growth & Funding Opportunities
Science parks provide business incubation services, mentorship and access to government grants and innovation funds.
Enhanced Reputation

A science park address enhances credibility and visibility, attracting investors, partners and clients.

Science Park Labs Provide Specialist Hubs for Innovation

Most successful science parks are made up of companies that are involved in a similar industry – such as biotech or advanced manufacturing. For example, Exeter Science Park is renowned for its focus on environmental sciences, supporting businesses that work on sustainable technologies and solutions. Whilst Norwich Research Park focuses on agricultural, food, industrial biotechnology and medical technology, contributing to advancements in plant science, genomics and health.  

Other science parks focus more on bioscience and biomedical research and it is important for research companies to align themselves to facilities with appropriate support both from local academic and commercial innovators so they can meet, exchange ideas and network.
