Abingdon lies at the heart of Science Vale UK, a globally significant cluster of science, research, and innovation. Here, world-changing ideas are born in labs and research centres. However, the journey from a technical breakthrough to a commercially successful, market-leading enterprise is a formidable challenge. Groundbreaking research without a robust commercialisation strategy risks remaining a brilliant concept rather than a global business.
