In 2024 Greenlight Computers became a member of UKSPA in recognition of the services we provide to UKSPA members and their tenant/occupier companies.

Greenlight has been providing IT services to the UKSPA community since 2010 and felt the time was right to formalise the relationship and support the UKSPA mission.

What is UKSPA?

The UK Science Park Association (UKSPA) is an organisation that represents and supports science parks, innovation centres, and other areas focused on promoting innovation and technology-based businesses in the UK. It plays a key role in fostering collaboration between businesses, universities, and research institutions, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and life sciences sectors.

Key Functions of UKSPA:

• Support for Innovation: UKSPA helps its members by providing resources, guidance, and a network to support innovation, research, and technology-driven businesses.
• Networking and Collaboration: It fosters connections between science parks, research institutions, startups, and established businesses to encourage collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
• Best Practice Sharing: UKSPA shares best practices and expertise related to running and managing science and technology parks, helping members maximize their potential.
• Advocacy and Representation: UKSPA acts as a voice for science parks and innovation centres in the UK, representing their interests to government bodies, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
• Events and Conferences: The organisation hosts events, conferences, and workshops aimed at discussing the latest trends and challenges in innovation, business development, and technology commercialisation.

Membership:

UKSPA’s membership includes science and innovation parks, universities, incubators, and other organisations that are dedicated to the development and growth of science and technology businesses in the UK.

For businesses involved in research, development, and innovation, UKSPA provides valuable networking opportunities, access to cutting-edge ideas, and support in navigating the complex landscape of science and technology commercialisation.
