York
York has nurtured a truly dynamic business environment centred around a fast growing knowledge-base economy. Science City, for example, is a world-class cluster of knowledge and commerce. Centred on the University of York - a premier research-led institution - academic ideas and business applications of cutting-edge technology are brought together to help companies who want to grow through innovation. Start-ups and established businesses alike are reaping the rewards of such innovation.
Bioscience York is another knowledge-based success. Widely recognised as one of the UK's most exciting bioscience clusters, the ten year old initiative now contains 54 companies and 3,700 life scientists.
