About us

For new and early-stage businesses, availability of affordable, ready to use, high specification office, laboratory and clean room facilities can be a significant barrier to entry. I-TAC provides access to high cost, high specification equipment which enables much-needed research and development activity.

QuoteWe are pleased to have centred our R&D base at I-TAC. Moving here has given us access to a wide range of equipment and specialists, as well as put us into a number of innovation networks and fostered partnership working with the experts at STFCQuote
