The Innovation District model is known worldwide as an effective way of developing new ideas, technologies, and business practice. Bursting with energy, passion, and creativity, Glasgow is perfectly placed to benefit from this model.
The proximity to the University of Strathclyde gives companies easy access to a talented, highly-skilled workforce, as well as close links with the University’s dedicated team for industry-academic interaction.
The District boasts well-established business, education and cultural communities and assets. Alongside this, there's an existing community of organisations and companies working to develop new technologies and designs, while showcasing creative talent.
With a growing innovation community, technology and creative strengths, more and more businesses are choosing to locate to Glasgow City Innovation District.
