Roslin Innovation Centre provides a supportive ecosystem for businesses, fostering collaboration, and generating significant returns for investment.
By connecting businesses with world-leading researchers, Roslin Innovation Centre encourages innovation in animal health, agri-tech, and aquaculture, to deliver economic impact for the Midlothian region, and support the economic growth for Scotland and the UK for our sectors of focus.
