Expansion for local University

A major new expansion of Keele University’s Science & Innovation Park which will support 13,000 jobs and contribute £1 billion to the local economy has taken a huge step forward, with senior officials from the region’s local authorities coming together to support the project. 

First unveiled in 2025, the vision for Keele Innovation District is to create a nationally significant hub for innovation, and a catalyst for major growth throughout the region. The planned expansion will see the University’s existing Science and Innovation Park, which already brings together businesses, research and education uses, expand into a neighbouring site as part of a wider mixed-use district.
