Thursday 2nd July 2026, 9:00am to Friday 3rd July 2026, 5:00pm
Norwich Research Park, England
The two-day event will bring together members from across the innovation and science park community for a programme of presentations, workshops, networking and knowledge sharing.
UKSPA membership and wider community – encompassing clusters across the UK, science, technology and research parks, and innovation districts represent a critical national network and infrastructure that underpins economic sustainability and growth across all four nations.
The Summer Conference will highlight the essential role members and partners play within their communities, the tangible value they deliver in fostering innovation and achieving social impact, and their contribution to driving inclusive, place-based growth.
During the two-day event, delegates will have the opportunity to meet and hear from scientists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders at Norwich Research Park and also see first-hand how the park’s ecosystem supports the journey from discovery to commercialisation, helping to maximise the impact of publicly funded research.
The Conference will provide a platform for delegates to strengthen existing partnerships and form new relationships – now more important than ever as we collectively address challenges at a local, national, and international levels.
Conference highlights include:
As one of the largest research clusters in Europe, with 30,000 people on site every day, Norwich Research Park represents a unique breadth and depth of scientific activity across one campus, in agri-food, health, nutrition and the environment.
