About

Sci-Tech Daresbury is one of two National Science and Innovation Campuses established in 2006, (originally named as Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus).

In December 2010 a new joint-venture company was created to spearhead the longer-term development of the site. Partners in the JV company are the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), Halton Borough Council and Langtree, a property developer and investor. It changed its name to Sci-Tech Daresbury in July 2012.

Enterprise Zone

Enterprise Zones are specific areas where a combination of financial incentives and reduced planning restrictions will apply. The zones are designed to encourage the creation of new businesses and jobs, thereby helping to support both local and national growth.

It is believed that Enterprise Zones will give a real shot in the arm to the private sector in particular locations and that the benefits will also spread more widely to support key city-regions and other areas.
