The Sheffield Bioincubator is an innovation centre in Sheffield, England. It contains offices and laboratories for small and medium enterprises in emerging technology and related areas and has links to the University of Sheffield. The building is owned, managed and run by the University of Sheffield Innovation.
History
The Bioincubator was opened in February 2006 by Lord Sainsbury[1] as a focus for Bioscience and Technology entrepreneurship in the Sheffield City Region. It was funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Sheffield University and Yorkshire Forward. The development was intended to assist the growth of an emerging technology and bioscience cluster in the Sheffield City Region. It provides a physical space for partners to work with the University of Sheffield,[2] a Russell Group research institution. In 2007 its partner building the Kroto Innovation Centre was opened.
Notable partnerships
