Construction of Derby’s new Infinity Park research centre is now underway, which will boost industry capabilities in decarbonisation technologies and generate 94 construction jobs over one year<\/h2>\n

The Infinity Park research centre is a Nuclear AMRC facility<\/a>, which is expected to bridge the gap between industry and academia in the latest phase of industrial innovation in the Midlands.<\/p>\n

Infinity Park will support companies to achieve UK Government objectives of increasing growth manufacturing from 11% GDP to 20% GDP by 2030, and the climate change carbon net zero target<\/a> by 2050.<\/p>\n

The arrival of the Infinity Park research centre will benefit from\u00a0a proposed new \u00a360m junction on the A50, speeding up routes leading to the M1 and neighbouring towns and cities.<\/p>\n

Infinity Park Derby’s partnership featuring Derby City Council<\/a>,\u00a0Wilson Bowden Developments, Peveril Securities, the Harpur Crewe Estate, and Rolls Royce, with over \u00a39m in funding from D2N2, is projected to support 100 companies in its first five years through the Fit For Nuclear supply chain development programme.<\/p>\n

The nuclear research centre will deliver upskilling opportunities to the local workforce<\/h3>\n

Development of the new Nuclear AMRC Midlands facility within an Enterprise Zone follows a successful pilot programme at Infinity Park\u2019s Connect iHub, joined by the University of Derby, now home to fifteen engineers and support staff collaborating with Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire companies.<\/p>\n

Infinity Park will become the preferred location for future manufacturers seeking close proximity to a research and development hub<\/h3>\n

Infinity Park Derby development partner, Nick Richardson of Wilson Bowden<\/a> commented: \u201cBased on current levels of interest in the Nuclear AMRC Midland\u2019s facility, it is highly likely to make Infinity Park Derby the preferred location for future manufacturers seeking close proximity to a research and development hub, a thriving local economy and a skilled workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Sewell, regional director at Stepnell<\/a>, added: \u201cThe Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre facility in Derby is a fantastic project that we are proud to be working on, alongside a variety of key project stakeholders.<\/p>\n

“Through working closely with our supply chain partners, excellent collaboration has led to a successful start on site.\u201d<\/p>\n
