PSP’s Incubation Centre has been created with its tenants in mind – its specialist services will include access to the latest laboratory equipment, technical expertise and collaborative research between businesses and the research community whilst also encouraging active links with existing innovation networks, higher education, knowledge bases within Wiltshire and the United Kingdom.
PSP offers three dynamic capabilities, supported and strengthened by its programme partners:
Innovation Centre
A brand new 4,084m2 building (Building A) which accommodates laboratory-based SMEs and the support to enable these businesses to grow and rapidly develop.
Grow-on space
Dedicated Grown-on space, provisioned within both Building A and the upcoming Building B for start up, spin out and established SMEs to expand their operations with more mature service and product delivery capability.
Future
The park’s Phase one development plan’s strategy and remit also includes the future construction of additional buildings at PSP for the science park’s expansion together with Grow-on space for established businesses seeking direct association with Porton Down’s scientific community.
