Tech Foundry is officially open. Last week, Olly Glover, MP for Didcot and Wantage, officially opened Tech Foundry, our latest development designed to supercharge the growth of the technology, manufacturing, and life sciences sectors. Spanning nearly 150,000 sq. ft, Tech Foundry 1 and 2 are cutting-edge facilities offering advanced manufacturing and R&D spaces, further cementing Harwell Campus as a hub for innovation. Part of our ambitious 600 Initiative, these buildings are the first step in delivering an additional 600,000 sq. ft of collaboration and innovation space, propelling the region’s reputation as a leader in science and technology. Olly Glover MP shared at the event: "The opening of Tech Foundry marks a significant milestone in positioning our region as a leader in science and technology. I look forward to seeing the Campus and its members drive economic and societal impact." Our own Daniel Pagella, Senior Director of Asset Management, added: "Tech Foundry is designed to help businesses turn ideas into reality more quickly. We’re excited to support our community as they develop technologies that benefit us all." This momentous occasion follows last week’s opening of the National Quantum Computing Centre by the Minister for Science, Research and Innovation, Lord Vallance, a testament to Harwell Campus’ role in shaping the UK’s scientific future.
