Aston Science Park is managed by Birmingham Technology Limited (BTL). BTL aims to create wealth and employment by providing facilities for the establishment and rapid growth of high-technology companies, which can benefit from University expertise, the business support services and management skills of BTL, and interaction with other companies within Aston’s creative community.

Opened in February 1983, Aston was one of the new generations of UK Science Parks and today is acknowledged throughout the world as a leading innovator in Science Park developments.

Aston Science Park is located in the heart of Birmingham on an attractively landscaped 65 acre campus which it shares with its neighbour and partner Aston University, the park itself occupying 22 acres.

The Science Park is committed to providing support to assist in the ongoing development and success of its tenants. To facilitate this process it has in place a business development team focused on the delivery of a fully integrated business support programme delivered by the team or through a wide range of partner organisations. This programme is focused on providing value-added services not only to the Science Park tenants but also partners and companies in the wider business community.

Through its business management skills and network of partner organisations both in the UK and across Europe, the Science Park is able to provide access to a wide range of business development opportunities. Through its relationships with Technology Organisations, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), finance providers and business support providers, the Science Park is able to offer companies access to a range of services in support of the needs of both early stage developing companies and existing organisations.

BTL’s business development activities have extended to the formation of specific programmes derived from its understanding of the needs of knowledge based SME’s. These include projects such as technology transfer project, Project Novus, optical communications technology project, Photonics Cluster (UK) and ICT project, iCentrum, all based on the Science Park.

Access to intellectual resources, recruitment opportunities and technical equipment is facilitated within Aston University’s Business Partnership Unit located on the Science Park. Similar access also extends to the University of Central England, Birmingham University and other regional resources, including DERA, through BTL contacts. The proximity of Aston University also enhances the availability of sports, recreational and cultural facilities open to Science Park company employees. BTL has always recognised the importance of maintaining a dynamic community of development oriented companies: this proactive role is a recognised part of Aston Science Park's international reputation.

The next stage of the plan is an ambitious expansion to create a 60-acre Aston Triangle campus integrated with Aston University. The first major phase of the development consists of four blocks of premium multi-storey office space linked with a glazed atrium. The development fronts onto Woodcock Street, overlooking Gosta Green University Square at the heart of Aston Triangle, and is ideal for research companies looking for a Science Park location alongside Aston University and its facilities.
