Over the past decade Newcastle has become increasingly recognised as a world- leading centre of groundbreaking science and innovation. As a result, the city is proud to be one of only six designated science cities in the UK.

Areas of science excellence include: Ageing & Health, Energy & the Environment, Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine and Molecular Engineering.

To maximise the potential of science, One North East, the regional development agency, Newcastle City Council and Newcastle University formed a powerful partnership creating Newcastle Science Company Ltd.

Newcastle Science Company Ltd works with its partners to position Newcastle as a premier location for science by building science networks across the region which encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, supporting the development of science- based businesses.

This is achieved through a number of work areas; supporting Science Networks, the Newcastle Innovation Machine, Science Business Creation, Science Infrastructure and Education and Community Engagement.

Over the next few months we’ll be developing this site but in the meantime we hope you find it of interest. If you would like to speak to a member of the Science City Team please contact us.
