Who’s here
What our community say
Discovery Park has supported Inhalytic in our business development, from start-up in a small laboratory space, scaling up to a larger lab. Providing introductions to growth and networking opportunities, and great on-site facilities. We’ve also joined a community of like-minded tenants who support and help each other. This has all contributed to our success, and we would highly recommend it to other start-ups.
Karen Chambers , Founder
Discovery Park is a real hub of innovation. It allows collaboration between different groups of people and it allows those people who wouldn’t otherwise normally meet, to meet together and get that spark of innovation to be creative.
Ross Millard , Managing Director
Discovery Park is an amazing space for our business, offering 1st class office space with the ability to become an active part of the tenant community onsite. With fantastic open-plan air-conditioned office space and engaging support from the Discovery Park team, we have been able to continue to grow our onsite operations. The networking opportunities, social activities, and amenities have been invaluable to help engage, attract & retain staff. We’re truly grateful for being a part of this positive, thriving community!
Scott Miles , Partner
