The installation – a combination of a 13 metre visual timeline, presentations and a series of colourful photograph pillars – features research breakthroughs at the Park, which is a leading centre for research in Food, Health and Environment.
The £11.5m Centrum building is part of a £26m award by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council to support new innovation, business and research.
“Norwich Research Park is a networked community of business and research organisations with world-leading science credentials,” said Dr Sally Ann Forsyth, Chief Executive Officer of Norwich Research Park. “This installation celebrates the history of the Park, its breadth of expertise and its many collaborative successes which provide the foundation for the first-class research and business environment. By bringing these groups together we are able to speed the translation of world leading science into innovative products for the world market”.
With more than 40 businesses, and 12,000 people on site including 3,000 researchers, and clinicians, we are committed to driving innovation, enterprise and promoting economic growth in the region.
