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.

“We have been using HWIC’s rooms for our assessments for a number of years now and have been so impressed with the venue. The environment is perfect for our clients, many of whom are very anxious and have sensory needs; the calm, airy, quiet and professional atmosphere immediately puts people at ease.

“The staff at HWIC are kind, organised and professional, all of whom are without fail incredibly helpful and accommodating. Their communication with us is always prompt and clear which makes running our business so much easier.

“And the icing on the cake is the coffee shop which our staff and clients so appreciate and adds to the comfortable atmosphere at HWIC.

“We couldn’t ask for a better venue.”

“We have a large annual event where a team of around 20 people come together from various parts of the world.  This January we used the largest meeting room in the building along with various other rooms for breakout sessions. We wanted to start our day early and this was accommodated.  The room was set up as requested.  There was a good selection of lunches/refreshments to choose from.   Parking was dealt with efficiently.  And most importantly the technology worked!”
