Liverpool Science Park News & Press

The bedrock of any modern economyis a thriving network of small and medium sized enterprises. The era of major single employers as the primary engine for growth is now largely outdated. Successful regions also focus on their assets - both physical and knowledge related - to become internationally competitive
and distinct.

In the Liverpool City Region, it is now widely recognised that future economic prosperity will come from developments in and around the port, culture, tourism, innovations in green technology and the knowledge economy.

Here at Liverpool Science Park our focus is around developing, growing and nurturing companies in our knowledge economy, especially those in the life sciences, ICT and digital and advanced manufacturing areas. Working with our partners, it is our strategy to accelerate economic growth through the stimulation and support of business-led innovation. This will be achieved through a variety of initiatives including our thriving Graduate Enterprise Centre, which has already welcomed eight young entrepreneurs, the commercial serviced laboratories we are creating in conjunction with MerseyBio, which are due to open in the summer and are already attracting significant interest, and through flexible new schemes such as our Starter Pods (more on these later in the newsletter).

Liverpool Science Park is increasingly a magnet for innovative businesses, and the community is starting to generate a real buzz. We are really proud of the success of our companies and of our own small part in their development, as they represent the future wealth of the region.
