About Liverpool Science Park
The Future
Britain’s path to the future is lit by the brilliant light of science
- Tony Blair
The government has a plan to create a sustainable ‘knowledge economy’, to successfully turn knowledge into commercial enterprise and utilise the country’s strong assets of intelligence, innovation and creativity. Liverpool Science Park echoes this vision at a regional level in Merseyside, creating a specialist infrastructure through which it can support and grow the city region’s knowledge economy. In the year of it’s 800th anniversary Liverpool is undergoing an extensive and exciting regeneration process, the face of the city is changing and Liverpool is becoming renowned for culture, ingenuity, design and now scientific advancement and economic prosperity. Liverpool Science Park is central to this economic redevelopment; providing a home for the innovation led companies who will prove vital to the city’s ability to compete economically both nationally and internationally within an evolving economic climate.
Consolidating its role as a regeneration leader, Liverpool Science Park has been granted planning permission for a second facility, which will be developed to the same high specifications as the Innovation Centre but with a quarter specialist lab space. This new facility will offer ‘grow on space’ for companies expanding rapidly within the Innovation Centre, keeping investment within the city region. The 40,000 sq ft second specialist facility will be co-located at the cathedral site in the city’s knowledge quarter and will be ready for launch in 2008. This is just the beginning for Liverpool Science Park; it is estimated that with the development of further phases the park could support as many as 7,000 local jobs within the next ten years.
Liverpool Science Park is working successfully to help secure the future of a knowledge based economy in Liverpool.
