Innovation Centre 5, Keele

Supporting high technology business growth in Staffordshire

Innovation Centre 5 (IC5) provides high quality office and workshop accommodation for high tech businesses situated at the highly successful Keele University Science and Innovation Park.

The county council invested £7million to fund and help build IC5 and have worked closely in partnership with Keele University to develop the business park and attract high tech businesses – we expect that the building could accommodate around 120 jobs when fully occupied.

Technology businesses and start-ups based at the business park can take advantage of:

  • high quality lettable business accommodation
  • state-of-the-art shared facilities to foster university and business collaboration
  • a pool of highly educated graduates from which to recruit.
