MIRA Tech Park expands with new occupiers and new opportunities

It was an incredible year for MIRA Tech Park and 2025 looks set to continue that journey for the transport R&D location on the border of Warwickshire and Leicestershire.

HORIBA MIRA was awarded the King’s Award for Sustainable Development in recognition of the work they do supporting zero emission vehicle development across road transport using virtual engineering and simulation to remove carbon from the development process and investing in a sustainable location with clean energy, zero waste-to-landfill, and natural areas of habitat. They were also awarded the Wildlife Trust’s Biodiversity Benchmark and the Green Apple International Environment Gold Award for Climate Change Benefits at the close of 2024.

Alongside this recognition, MIRA Tech Park forged new partnerships in clean energy - working with public and private organisations to deliver green hydrogen production on site through the 7MW solar array and 1MW electrolyser - and decarbonised heat - working with

Severn Trent and E.ON on a testbed for heat recovery from sewage on the Warwickshire side of the site. Further environmental projects included working with parent company HORIBA on surface water run-off from our roads and how to reduce the pollutive impact brake dust and tyre wear have on our water system.

Visitors to MIRA Tech Park in 2025 will also notice a significant change as soon as they leave the A5 as 150,000 square feet of new larger footprint buildings are under construction as grow-on space for expanding tenants and new-to-UK businesses bringing new opportunities for high value employment and local supply chain. Along with this new development, the site will also shortly open a new Welcome Centre for visitors.

“This latest development is a step change for us at MIRA Tech Park and we are excited to welcome new businesses here and facilitate the growth of current tenants,” said Jack Bartlett, Head of Commercial & Partnerships.

“The opportunity to benefit from our heritage of expertise in engineering and testing for vehicle development is a real attraction for tenants alongside our ability to provide a competitive path to Net Zero from a sustainable location. We look forward to working with new partners in clean energy, decarbonised heat, water recycling, and the circular economy as we build on our positive environmental impact over the last five years.”
