About Birmingham Science Park Aston
"The Opportunity to Innovate through Partnership"Aston Science Park, was founded in 1982 and has been one of the premier science parks in the UK ever since. Now, in 2009, the park has been rebranded, providing a clear statement of its intent to drive its new strategy.
At a time when the knowledge economy is seen a key factor in moving the UK out of recession, Birmingham Science Park Aston initiatives are championing and catalysing the innovation economy of Birmingham and the Region. We are owned by Birmingham City Council, but we also look to work in partnership with the Council to help shape and drive its innovation agenda within the ‘Big City Plan’.
Directly, and through partnership, Birmingham Science Park Aston provides a complete infrastructure to support innovators and entrepreneurs helping them deliver their aspirations and drive their high-tech services and products towards the market place.
Birmingham Science Park Aston is more than a geographic location. We are developing a flexible, highly connected and collaborative culture; an environment where people with ideas meet people with experience and people with investment funds. Connectivity is driven by face-to-face meetings within our facilities, at our events and increasingly, as we develop our activities to drive the low carbon agenda through smart work environments, in virtual space. The virtual offering will create a central hub, linking to regional nodes and other national and international hubs, to generate virtual clusters of expertise to aid and promote high-tech, high growth businesses; wealth creation leading to new high value jobs.
We do not want to compete, or re-invent the wheel, so Birmingham Science Park Aston is keen to develop new partnerships with individuals and organisations in all aspects of its offering.
