Accelerator – Where science works

A home for life science companies on the Liverpool Health Campus, Accelerator is a £25m collaboration between the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital Trust (RLBUHT) and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) supporting businesses through collaboration, innovation and investment.

Accelerator is amongst good company, with the brand new £335m Royal Liverpool Hospital and the £162m Clatterbridge Centre for Cancer sharing a rapidly expanding Clinical Campus.

With approximately 30,000 square feet of lettable space, Accelerator is a brand new building in the very heart of the Knowledge Quarter, boasting state of the art laboratories including category 3 labs, insectaries, offices, collaboration zones, meeting rooms and cafeteria. It is central to Liverpool’s vision to develop a city centre health campus.

Crucial to all innovative incubation spaces, the building by design stimulates flow and the exchange of ideas and the meeting spaces enable both formal and informal collaboration across health, research and industry.

For start-ups, SME’s and companies looking to expand their business, Accelerator offers flexible working space for a variety of businesses.
