Collaboration Space

Our vision is to create a thriving innovation campus, a community of businesses, public and third sector organisations collaborating with world-class, inter-disciplinary academics and international student talent. Together we will co-design and co-create new technologies, products, processes and services which drive economic prosperity and have positive societal and environmental impact.

Our campus-based community offers a unique space for start-ups and medium sized enterprises to engage, innovate and share. Each location offers the resources to house businesses from sectors such as manufacturing, chemical, digital, environmental sciences and health. Lancaster University offers adaptable office space, fully furnished labs and flexible co-working areas, including dedicated meeting rooms with countless possibilities. Joining our community also offers your business the chance to engage with all University departments, giving organisations support and guidance from academics, experienced business development managers as well as access to student recruitment from the University’s talent pool.
