Located near Glasgow Airport in Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, the centre will help to establish the UK as a technology and innovation leader in small molecule pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing.
CPI, an independent technology innovation centre, is leading the project in partnership with the University of Strathclyde, UKRI, Scottish Enterprise, and founding industry partners, AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline.
The business works with partners across diverse markets in the UK and around the world, driving innovations forward and helping them to reduce the risk and cost associated with product development.
