Sheffield’s Innovation Spine is one of the North’s most concentrated clusters of research, engineering and technology activity — and The Innovation Centre sits at its heart. Located on Portobello in Sheffield city centre, the building offers wet and dry labs, workshops, coworking and private offices for science, technology, engineering and innovation businesses at any stage of growth.

The Centre is owned by UKSE, whose focus on economic regeneration means occupiers can access business investment and growth support alongside their space. Neighbouring facilities include the Royce Discovery Centre, the Engineering Heartspace and the Diamond Building. Adjacent university faculties, such as Computer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, make this a natural base for businesses with close links to research and academia.

Spaces are available on flexible terms with a straightforward move-in process, designed to reduce friction for small and medium-sized businesses.
