Innovation
starts here.

Three Centres across Cornwall aimed at inspiring dynamic people to grow and build innovative enterprises leading to business success.

The Cornwall Innovation Centres are more than just managed office and desk facilities. We have created vibrant communities of interaction that thrive on the networking and collaboration opportunities that abound within.

The management of all three centres is delivered by the University of Plymouth on behalf of Cornwall Council. Cornwall Innovation was initially supported by the European Regional Development Fund Convergence Programme.

“Right from the beginning of our 4 years and counting at the Health & Wellbeing Innovation Centre, we were welcomed with open arms to not only a building with modern, accessible facilities, but a vibrant business community and support services provided by Cornwall Innovation. Without our space at the centre, I am certain that our company would not have the growth, partnerships, and trajectory that it has.”
