Since 2018, the St John’s Innovation Park has changed from the simple colocation of several buildings to an area with a sense of place, shared services and common identity where joint social and training events are held and communication on a Park-wide basis has stepped up.  St John’s Innovation Centre’s thriving Projects Team is the Enterprise Europe Network Access to Finance specialist for the East of England; it also delivers other coaching contracts for organisations such as the Royal Academy of Engineering and leads a national Pitchfest (investment readiness) programme for Innovate UK.  We expect to expand our services in all these areas.
