Innovation

We offer an innovation programme that has been shaped to support the development and delivery of product and service innovation across the sustainable mobility and decarbonisation sectors.

We facilitate collaborative partnerships between Universities, companies and other organisations.

Our Innovation Challenges support the delivery of the Scottish Government’s Net Zero targets by identifying relevant issues within industry and engaging with companies to develop and deliver solutions to these issues.

Our MSIP Accelerator* is targeted at ambitious early-stage companies and entrepreneurs, offering each cohort an intensive period of business support based in an incubator environment.

Our focus on sustainable mobility and decarbonisation allows us to offer companies access to our extensive network which can provide a wide range of opportunities including innovation funding and investment opportunities.

*The MSIP Accelerator is part funded by Scottish Enterprise.

Our Innovation Campus provides an exciting and varied environment for industry, academia and government to come together, to progress the just transition to net zero.

Our Innovation Hub will be located at the centre of the Innovation Parc, creating a focus of collaborative activity. It will offer core facilities including hot desks, flexible meeting and events space, design labs, a digital suite, demonstration space and a range of business support services.

The Innovation Labs at MSIP will offer 14 labs starting at 80m². Designed for short-term, flexible project use, they  offer shared amenities and collaborative spaces for meeting and relaxing.

An additional Makerspace offers basic workshop amenities for tenants in the Innovation Labs.

The Fulhame Building is a development of six industrial units for light manufacturing, offering space for companies looking to take their first step into an industrial unit with ambitions to growth.

We understand how critical access to innovation funding and investment support is for companies to take an idea through the technology and manufacturing readiness levels.

We can connect you to relevant funding and investment, that will allow you to develop your product and technology further and quicker.
