THE HISTORY OF UKSPA
Founded in 1984 by the managers of the eight Parks that then existed, UKSPA has gone from strength to strength. In the last forty years the number of Science Parks has grown significantly (from two in 1982 to around 150 in 2024). There is still a strong regional, and local focus to their establishment. What has continued to happen over the years is that many more UK Universities and centres of excellence in research have recognised the unstoppable trend, and inherent value of Science Park development and have created parks with associated management structures to help drive and technology up the value chain by supporting tenant companies across a wide range of activities.
THE GROWTH OF UKSPA
Over the course of the last forty years there has been continual growth in membership. In 2024 - the 40th Anniversary of the Association - over 140 locations were in membership, delivering facilities and support to over 6000 companies.
