Already a key site for high value employment, the Keele Innovation District represents a significant expansion of the current footprint at Keele, taking the University’s innovation facilities into a new era.
Keele University contributes around half a billion pounds to the West Midlands economy each year, with around two-thirds of that benefitting the immediate region of Staffordshire.
Keele’s award-winning 60-acre Science and Innovation Park is a key employment site in the region, generating £75m GVA and housing over 1,500 employees across more than a dozen facilities.
Among the existing 60 industry-leading, knowledge-intensive organisations based at Keele are Marriott, Michelin, Caudwell Children, Biocomposites, and Charles River Laboratories, and the Park is expected to reach full capacity by the end of 2025.
