Newcastle Science City is the driving force bringing together the people, businesses and educational institutions across the Newcastle region, in science and innovation.

Our ambition is to ensure that Newcastle is synonymous with science excellence; in ageing and health at Newcastle University’s Institute for Ageing and Health; in stem cell and regenerative medicine at The International Centre for Life; and in sustainability, which will be the scientific focus of the Science Central site, a 24-acre development in the heart of Newcastle city centre.

Our role is to maximise the potential of the city’s science base by supporting the creation of new businesses, attracting investment, strengthening science networks and ensuring that the local population, especially young people, can become part of our continued scientific achievement.

We want everyone to be able to play their part. Find out more about getting involved here. If you are a business or entrepreneur interested in working with NSC find out more here.
