We foster innovation, support growth and facilitate expansion.
Kent Science Park was inspired by the
design of the university campuses of
Oxford and Cambridge. It provides a
unique environment for your team to work
and relax, and for your business to grow.
We work hard to make your life easier and
to make the park an enjoyable place to
work. We host regular technical and social
events that bring together scientific and
business leaders. We connect start-ups,
established businesses and industry
leaders and support the UK’s innovation
community. Our site teams also provide
guidance and support throughout a
company’s growth journey, to help
minimise risks and maximise your chances
of success.

Our network.A network of science and business parks tailored to the UK innovation sector. Across our parks we offer facilities from small flexible laboratories to pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, and everything in between.
The Knowledge factory.We are an ideas facilitator. We provide specialist facilities and support to science and innovation focussed businesses across our national portfolio of science parks.
UK science and innovation businesses
contribute over 30% of UK GPD and
require a unique style of engagement
and support. Therefore, science parks
are not like normal business parks.
They are a sector in their own right
which require specialist support. This is
where the Knowledge Factory comes in.
We are the UK’s only landlord and
co-investor for the UK science and
innovation sectors.
Fostering collaboration
We facilitate success. We do this by
providing the support and connections
that businesses on our sites need to
innovate. Our Pioneer Society organises
and hosts regular meetings and
events ranging from coffee mornings,
consultations and workshops, to
anything in-between, which are then
shared across our community via
multiple media.
We challenge you to collaborate with
your like-minded neighbours or use
our platform to find partners across
the country.
More time for science
First and foremost we recognise a ‘one
size fits all’ approach does not always
apply. This feeds through to everything
we do from providing safety glasses and
ensuring the safe disposal of chemicals
to using the latest technology that
enables you book meeting rooms online
and everything in between.
We never rest on our laurels and are
always looking for ways to improve our
sites. For example in the last two years
we’ve invested more than £8 million
in new collaboration facilities, energy
efficiency initiatives and infrastructure
across our sites.
Assisting business growth
We empathise with how hard it can
be to secure business investment,
which is why we help at both ends of
the investment spectrum. We assist in
navigating the grants process, and
connecting start-ups with seed capital,
and when you’re ready we can also
offer growth capital to help you achieve
your potential.
Our three strategic aims.
