About

About

Begbroke Centre for Innovation and Enterprise offers high-tech, knowledge-based, start-up and spin-out companies a unique professional environment in which to expand and grow.

Increasing demand for space at Begbroke led to the construction of a new, purpose-built facility which opened in July 2006. The CIE offers flexible office and laboratory space with the full range of services that companies require for start-up. Most importantly, the Centre gives companies the flexibility to grow and expand into more space, as and when they need it.

The centre's 15,000 sq ft of office and laboratory space, arranged over two floors, has been designed for maximum flexibility in use. For example, innovative use of service risers means that specialist facilities can be installed easily and cost-effectively as companies request them.

The Centre for Innovation and Enterprise offers new companies far more than just serviced incubation units. As a core component of the Oxford University Begbroke Science Park, the CIE and other site tenants are able to access Oxford University's science and technology departments. Occupiers of the CIE therefore have the unique benefit of access to Oxford University's world-leading research programmes and opportunities to talk with experts in the field. In the same spirit, the CIE hosts regular networking events to provide opportunities for exchange of ideas with business advisers and like-minded entrepreneurs.
