Innovation Park Network

Providing a bridge between countries to exchange knowledge and enable collaboration

BRE’s Watford Innovation Park is a flagship development that embraces a network of existing and future Parks in the UK and around the world.

The Innovation Park in Ebbw Vale, Wales is already an important innovation demonstrator. It will be joined by Innovation Parks in Scotland, Brazil, China, Canada and the US, which BRE is now in the process of developing.

The aim of the network is to provide a bridge for exchanging knowledge, to enable collaboration and unlock exporting potential.
