NI Science Park to Expand to Meet Demand

The Northern Ireland Science Park has confirmed plans to expand its facilities by almost a third, providing additional space for up to 500 knowledge workers...a bit of good news amidst the economic gloom and continuing its amazing progress as a key driver of the NI Knowledge Economy.
This latest phase will see the second of three buildings known as ‘The Concourse’, representing a £6Million investment and a unique partnering of NISP, Belfast Harbour and DETI.

It is also planning to expand its reach to the Northwest of Northern Ireland and is in discussions with Ilex Regeneration re a regional model based in Fort George in Derry.
