Life Science Investment Zone

Global Hub for Science, Technology and Enterprise

Discovery Park is Europe’s largest science and technology hub with a host of international companies in life sciences and biotechnology, along with business support services attracted by world class facilities and Enterprise Zone status. 

With its excellent transport links and skilled pool of local labour, Dover has become a base for high-tech manufacturing in pharmaceuticals, electronics, packaging and food production.  A new £6.5 million Maritime Skills Academy is being developed to support the ports.
