Edinburgh Science Triangle is ranked in the world’s top twenty science parks.
Edinburgh Science Triangle offers:
- A vital link between commercial business and academic research activity, providing access to knowledge and expertise, facilities and new technologies as they emerge. Companies based on the Science Parks are often in the best position to take advantage of such resources and opportunities, and some proactively develop collaborative R&D projects with universities.
- Property options that meet the accommodation requirements ranging from new start-ups to large international research and development organizations. Excellent buildings in stunning locations can provide incubator facilities, flexible space in multi-occupancy buildings or dedicated buildings or strategic development sites for single organizations to achieve their bespoke requirements.
- Shared services to save time and money spent on general and specialist support facilities and services, leading to an attractive total cost proposition and greater management and staff “time on project”.
- Assisted access to the best available business support, funds, and networks, with some programmes unique to innovative knowledge-based science park tenant businesses.
