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.

Our Innovation Centres are focused on supporting all growth, knowledge and innovation-led businesses. In particular those from the technology, creative media, environmental and health and wellbeing sectors.
Help and support is offered to businesses at all stages of their journey from incubation through to mature enterprises looking to innovate and grow.

“We’ve been a part of the Tremough Innovation Centre in Penryn for over a year, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The facilities are well-maintained, and provide everything we need to run our business effectively. We’re particularly fond of Kegin Koffiji, the brilliant Cornish Kitchen café, and the monthly wellbeing events run by MindFit Cornwall to promote mindfulness and work-life balance. The reception staff are incredibly supportive, and embody the true nature of an innovation centre. It’s the perfect environment for fostering growth and innovation. TIC have embraced our innovative Salto Orion face recognition access control, which is now installed across the site and used by residents to access their spaces. We highly recommend Cornwall Innovation to anyone looking for a professional and inspiring workspace.”

“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.”

“It’s so nice to be greeted with a warm welcome on the front desk when you start your day at Tremough Innovation Centre. We also love the environmental and ecological benefits of TIC – such as renewable energy, rainwater harvesting and bat boxes – as we aim for Net Zero carbon emissions by 2030. It’s lovely to be surrounded by greenery!”
