Value proposition

Where businesses can innovate, connect & grow through access to technology, events and collaboration.



At the 3M BIC we are more than office space. We enable innovation and enterprise.

We are one of the first innovation centres in the UK created to bridge the gap between academia and industry.

Our core services include:
• Offices, labs and office/ lab combos
• Meeting and event space
• Flexible working – co-working and pop-up offices
• Virtual office services
• Technology and support for product development:
o Product design consultancy
o Prototyping - 3D printing in a range of materials
o Testing – X-Ray and Microscopy capabilities

Located close to key motorway and public transport links to Manchester and Leeds, the Centre is also situated next door to the University of Huddersfield’s Queensgate campus and in walking distance to its new National Health Innovation Campus. Benefit from access to research, collaboration and recruitment opportunities.

Our values focus on building a community that supports, nurtures and aspires to achieve great things that make an impact on the wider community.
