How does the UK Government and EU support Science Parks?
Science parks are supported through a variety of local, national and EU programmes. It is difficult to generalise, since support available varies between regions of the UK. In addition to support to Science Parks themselves there are many programmes which support individual companies located on them. UKSPA maintains very close links with the relevant Government departments, including the DTI, DfEE, OST, the FCO and the British Council. It also liaises with Government agencies such as the Small Business Service.
