Aston Science Park, was founded in 1982 and has been one of the premier science parks in the UK ever since. Now, in 2009, the park has been rebranded, providing a clear statement of its intent to drive its new strategy. At a time when the knowledge economy is seen a key factor in moving the UK out of recession, Birmingham Science Park Aston initiatives are championing and catalysing the innovation economy of Birmingham and the Region. We are owned by Birmingham City Council, but we also look to work in partnership with the Council to help shape and drive its innovation agenda within the ‘Big City Plan'. Directly, and through partnership, Birmingham Science Park Aston provides a complete infrastructure to support innovators and entrepreneurs helping them deliver their aspirations and drive their high-tech services and products towards the market place.
