Where life and work connect

From drug discovery and green tech to quantum computing start-ups, we spoke with founders, directors, scientists and innovators to ask them a simple question: what makes Milton Park a great place to work?

Thank you to all those who featured in the video and shared their kind words. Watch the video above.

Here are some excerpts from the video:

Annelise Vuidepot

Chief Technology Officer, Immunocore

“Originally when we spun off from Oxford University, we came here because it was really very close to Oxford, so still a lot of links with academic labs. Here on the Park we are also building links with other biotechs and with other combinations of startups and more established companies. Those interactions are really important to foster innovation, because I think that it’s when you link things that are not necessarily obvious, then you create ideas and innovation.”

Adam Stoten

SVP Academic Partnerships and Site Head, Evotec

“…What do we look for in terms of new buildings? Well first and foremost it needs to support the highest quality science that we perform here and on behalf of our partners. Beyond that we’re increasingly looking for building environments which really provide our employees with a great place to work, that encourages interaction, collaboration. We try and be really progressive in how we think about enabling and developing the right environment which will ultimately produce the highest quality of output.”

Mandy Birch

CEO and Founder, TreQ

“We don’t ever see ourselves outgrowing Milton Park. There are so many different facilities here that we can expand into as our company grows, fantastic infrastructure as we scale up to more data centre-like operations. We anticipate needing power, low latency bandwidth. All that connectivity is right here at Milton Park.”

Augusto Bartolome

Co-founder & CEO, Electrogenos

“Here at Milton Park we’ve actually been able to scale our technology. We built this facility which really allowed us to grow our team. We’ve reached a level now where we’ve validated our technology both externally and internally, and we are looking to scale our technology and move into manufacturing.”
