City of Sheffield

Accommodation

South Yorkshire has accommodation specific for high tech companies. This includes the Sheffield Bioincubator, Sheffield Technology Parks located at two sites in Sheffield, the Innovation Centre in Sheffield, and Business and Innovation Centres in Barnsley and Doncaster.

Accommodation in South Yorkshire is relatively cheap and the region has a huge potential to accommodate more companies.

Specialised premises are vitally important for the commercialisation of bioscience. Through the Objective 1 Bioscience Cluster Action plan, the state-of-the-art Sheffield bioincubator is ready to open its doors in October 2005.
