Whilst attending a seminar at the John Innes Centre last week I dropped into see how the new Centrum Building was progressing, having previously been at the Turf Cutting event two months ago. It’s an impressive transformation.

The construction of the new building follows a £26m investment from the Government, through the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. The new building forms a part of a long-term dive to create 5,000 new jobs at the NRP over the next 25 years.

I hope and believe that by 2050 the Norwich Research Park will be globally recognised as a leader in the science of sustainability: producing more from less and the appliance of “Life Science” across the ‘big 3’ sectors of food, medicine and energy. This is ‘green growth’ in the sustainable sectors of tomorrow.
