The Exeter Science Park is one of the most significant investments in the South West's rapidly expanding knowledge economy.
Exeter Science Park will be the corner-stone of a knowledge-based economy which is currently achieving unprecedented growth rates. The Exeter area is seeing tremendous investment in start-ups and in R&D across a range of science and technology disciplines ranging from ecotoxicology to environmental sustainability and from clinical trials to climate adaptation. The University of Exeter and its Medical School plus the Met Office represent a considerable scientific resource and the role of the new Science Park will be to act as an innovation hub for a range of science-based commercial activities.
Exeter is already home to a number of knowledge-based businesses and a substantial pool of science-trained staff whether they are already in industry or graduating from the University. Organisations locating on the Park will range from start-ups and spin-outs to established multi-site international businesses with activities ranging from modelling to manufacture. The one thing which they will have in common however is the desire to achieve exceptional growth through collaboration in a knowledge-rich environment. Beyond that, Exeter Science Park may be able to help with planning for growth through the provision of flexible accommodation, business support services or simply somewhere to sit and share a coffee and ideas.
So, whatever your business or your business idea, Exeter Science Park might be a great place to start your next period of high growth.
