Science Park To Officially Open In Derry
A new science park is to officially open for business later today, it has been announced.
Located in L'derry, the North West Regional Science Park will see 23 tenants move to the site.
The £12m facility is based on the former military site at Fort George, near the city centre. The science park consists of 50,000 sq ft of flexible workspace.
Some of those taking up residence on the site include software firms, telecoms, television production, and health and bioscience; while the anchor tenant is software company 8over8.
Meeting spaces, a café, on-site parking and secure cloud data storage will also be available to tenants.
Dick Milliken, Chairman of the Northern Ireland Science Park, said: "The science park is about much more than just bricks and mortar and office space: It's about the people, the exchange of ideas, the sharing of experience and advice and the connections.
"We have absolutely no doubt that the North West Science Park will soon be the home to some of this island's newest and brightest."
