How we support the creation of new businesses from early-stage science-based research

Maximising the impact of the publicly-funded research being conducted at Norwich Research Park is one of the core aims of Anglia Innovation Partnership, the campus management organisation. One of the ways in which we do this is by helping scientists and researchers to translate their ideas for a business into reality.

We have been successful in doing this over the last couple of years thanks to our incubator programme which has seen 17 companies receive practical and intellectual support and advice. In addition, 40 other companies are actively receiving wider enterprise support to aid their development.

Sam Graham, Enterprise Network Manager, Anglia Innovation Partnership, who runs the incubator programme, said, “Our role is to help them get their businesses off the ground and give them the best possible chance of success.”

“The incubator programme focuses on reducing the practical and structural barriers that early-stage founders face by improving access to suitable workspace and labs, helping them navigate funding opportunities and connecting them with scientific expertise right across the Park to support testing and validation of their business models.”
