PARK LIFE

A naturally inspiring setting

Edinburgh Technopole is set in 126 acres of mature parkland in the middle of one of the UK’s most exciting science hubs. It provides a unique and supportive environment for science and non-science businesses.

Being located at Edinburgh Technopole means you get the best of both worlds – the peace of a tranquil parkland setting while also being surrounded by innovative businesses and leading research institutions. The park is managed by a small specialist team, which means that decisions get made quickly and you can rely on our team to support you in your growth.

Edinburgh Technopole offers a huge mix of flexible offices, high specification laboratories and product development space, all with generous parking provision and excellent transport links to Edinburgh city centre and Edinburgh Airport.

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 aim to connect start-ups, established businesses and industry leaders to support the UK’s innovation community. Our site teams also provide guidance and support throughout a young company’s growth journey, to help minimise risks and maximise the chances of success.

Midlothian Science Zone

Edinburgh is a global leader in animal health, specialising in bioscience, and arguably has the largest concentration of animal science related expertise anywhere in Europe. To harness this exceptional level of experience and intellect, a cluster of leading organisations have come together to form the Midlothian Science Zone.

The Midlothian Science Zone undertakes basic and translational science to tackle pressing issues in animal genetics and genomics, development, health and welfare, and their implications for human health.
