The Harwell site where the innovation campus will be developed.
UK Atomic Energy Authority will provide land for the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus while the Science and Technology Facilities Council will work on the exploitation of public sector science programmes, helping to ensuring fundamental research carried out in government facilities at Harwell can be harnessed and exploited by innovators, entrepreneurs and industry. Goodman will provide the working capital for the joint venture.
Investment at the campus will include fundamental scientific research and the development of property, facilities and infrastructure. The joint venture approach will enable the campus to benefit from public sector access to global scientific communities, research programmes and facilities, alongside Goodman’s commercial expertise.
The Harwell Science and Innovation Campus is already home to significant basic research facilities, including the ISIS neutron source and the Diamond Light Source. In July further government investment was announced including £24 million for a new imaging solutions centre to develop imaging technologies; £30 million for a new detector systems centre based at Harwell and its sister site in Daresbury, Cheshire, to research, design and produce sensors; £25 million for ISIS stage 2, to complete the development of the neutron source at Harwell; and £92.5 million for Diamond Light Source, to complete the third phase of the facility.
