Launch of £40millon ONE BioHub

The £40million ONE BioHub is the new location for life sciences in Aberdeen.

The aim is to inspire ambition, giving scientists and innovators skills and knowledge to turn research and innovation into businesses, and supporting them on the entrepreneurial journey.

An Aberdeen City Region Deal innovation project, ONE BioHub is led and co-funded by Opportunity North East (ONE) with funding from the UK Government, Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise.

The University of Aberdeen and NHS Grampian are strategic partners and have provided the site for ONE BioHub, in the heart of Aberdeen’s Foresterhill Health Campus.

Sir Ian Wood Chair of ONE, said: “ONE BioHub will be the transformational place in the North-east of Scotland for the entrepreneurial life sciences community and growth sector to meet, share, learn, start up, innovate and grow.

“It will be a new game-changing technology and business cluster in Aberdeen, accelerating life sciences commercialisation, translating research into solutions in the market, improving health and wellbeing, creating highgrowth businesses and high-value jobs, and harnessing the potential of science, technology and innovation to diversify the economy.

“This adds an exciting new business dimension to our economy.”
