Soon-to-open business hub the Maidstone Innovation Centre (MIC) has become part of the UK Science Park Association (UKSPA) network.

Due to open later this year, the innovation centre is part of the Kent Medical Campus, just off Junction 7 of the M20, and is aimed at the life science, healthcare and medical sectors.

The Maidstone Innovation Centre - pictured as work continued in the spring of this year - is almost ready to open

Funded by the European Regional Development Fund, it will offer flexible working space, meeting rooms and conference facilities.

Maidstone Borough Council leader, Cllr David Burton, said: “Being part of UKSPA will allow us to not only share MIC’s and our tenants’ knowledge and experiences, but also to learn from some of the best in the sector across the country.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming an interesting mix of tenants, leading the way in their fields."
