UKSPA ’s mission is to support and encourage the growth of Science Parks, Innovation Centres and other Innovation locations.

Through a programme of sharing good practice, networking, communication, research, promotion and advocacy UKSPA membership helps to sustainand develop this vital economic sector.

The UKSPA network of managers, developers, investors, owners and supporting businesses all share a common goal.

This is to create a growing, effective Innovation sector with the right facilities, infrastructure, services and business growth activities for the 6,000 companies and other organisations that they support on a daily basis.

The Association represents, promotes and supports a diverse network of members that include research campuses, city-based innovation districts, technology incubators and innovation centres across the UK (and beyond). They operate in different areas, with different funding and investment profiles but together deliver enormous added value to companies that occupy space or participate ion member activities.
