REMARKABLE PLACES
where science & technology
businesses grow
Sciopolis provides science and technology companies with the workspace and support they need to grow.
We partner with landlords, universities and local government to deliver and operate thriving Innovation Hubs for early-stage science and technology businesses.
By offering well designed, ready-to-occupy lab and office space, coupled with great amenities and offered to tenants under flexible lease terms, we make it possible for innovative companies to move in without having to invest upfront capital and to focus on growing their business.
In parallel with our space provision, and arguably more importantly, we also activate an exciting ecosystem proposition, connecting tenants with the right support from universities, service providers and other organisations, to help them overcome their scaling challenges and increase their chances of success.
Sciopolis is building a network of Innovation Hubs across strategic locations, with plans underway to deliver 100,000 ft of space in the next 12 months, initially focused in London and the Golden Triangle.
