Successful Partnership
PSP was established as a joint venture between University of Plymouth and Plymouth City Council in 1996 to support the growth of the region’s economy. The fifth and most recent phase of development at Plymouth Science Park was partly funded by £3 million Growth Deal funding from the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership.

The close connections with the founding partners remain and PSP located businesses continue to benefit from tailored support and access to a wealth of University of Plymouth facilities, research and technical expertise.
Sponge, Moortec, Acronyms, Chess Dynamics, Argans, Re:Cognition and Ultra-Cardiac are just some of the growth brands, developing cutting-edge products and services, making use of world-class research and business environments available at the park and across the city.

And, in 2019 they were joined by the likes of Magicseaweed, Fairhurst, Sentinel Healthcare and Cunninghams. Tenants on the campus represent a range of key sectors including advanced engineering, technology, digital economy, marine and health & wellbeing operating across Plymouth, the Heart of the South West and exporting their goods and services internationally.
The influx of new arrivals takes the total number of brands now operating from the park to 95, with more set to be announced soon.
