Keele University Science and Business Park is a science and business development facility located on the campus of Keele University in North Staffordshire.
The role of the Science Park is to support the growth of innovative businesses, particularly those active in research and development within the West Midlands region by providing a high quality location and a wide range of business support services.
Currently it is located in four large purpose built buildings located at the entrance to Keele University
The first building simply called 'Innovation Centre' and labelled on the side as just IC was opened in 1999 by Her Majesty The Queen.
It is home to many local and national businesses such as Dynamic Change, Siemens Wind Power R&D and Internet Central.
