GCID - Inovo 2

Opportunity to work with Scottish Enterprise (SE), the University of Strathclyde (UoS) and other stakeholders to develop 2. 5 acres (1.01 Ha) of land located at the heart of GCID. SE/UoS has already invested over £100m in developing a first phase of development on adjacent sites constructing the Technology Innovation Centre (TIC) and commercial office building inovo.

The development plots have capacity to accommodate up to 18,580 sq m (200,000 sq ft) of space which SE currently envisage being targeted at science and technology-based users, building on the already established and successful “Industry Cluster” model and benefiting from an already established ecosystem which nurtures innovation and growth.

GCID, anchored by the University of Strathclyde, is a partnership between Glasgow City Council, the University, Scottish Enterprise, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurial Scotland and is a home to innovative companies and organisations as well as UK Catapult centres and Scottish Funding Council innovation centres.

Located in the heart of Glasgow City Centre, the District is home to many innovative companies and organisations who've located within the district to nurture and accelerate growth, improve productivity, and access world-class research and technology from the University.

This is a collaborative approach with industry, government and innovation centres working together to identify and deliver challenge-led innovation.

GCID is home to:

• Four Scottish Innovation Centres (The Data Lab, Digital Health & Care, CENSIS & IBioIC)
• Five UK Catapults (Offshore Renewable Energy, Space Applications, Connected Places, Energy Systems & High Value Manufacturing)
• The UK’s only Fraunhofer Institute (Centre for Applied Photonics)
• Four UK National Laboratories/ PSRWs (NPL, NEL, LGC, Dstl)
• Key industry research centres including Rolls Royce
• Several high growth companies.
