Adjacent to Aston University, in a super-diverse and youthful city, co-located with industry and on the doorstep of HS2, the Birmingham Innovation Precinct (BIP) is a dynamic hub of knowledge, research and enterprise. The co-location of industry, business, entrepreneurs and start-ups with the Aston University community leverages decades of research excellence and world-class capabilities to transform high-growth industries such as HealthTech, MedTech and CleanTech.
