Council leader Adam McVey comments on bidding process opening.
We’re proud to be a partner in Edinburgh BioQuarter, a driving force in Scotland's thriving life sciences sector and already a prime destination in the UK for healthcare delivery, ground-breaking medical research and health innovation.
The expansion of the BioQuarter is a key part of Edinburgh’s economic future - an area earmarked for life science development supporting wider growth and regeneration in the south east of the city. Edinburgh BioQuarter has the potential to bring in billions of pounds of investment with lasting benefits for local people, connecting jobs, education and opportunities to nearby areas like Greendykes and Craigmillar, where we’re also making major investments in regeneration.
Working with partners, we’ve already set out our vision for Edinburgh to be the data capital of Europe. Upcoming developments at the BioQuarter like the Usher Institute will be the next step in realising this vision, further cementing our international reputation and a critical mass of collaboration between clinicians, researchers and businesses.
