Construction is well underway on the Edinburgh Innovation Hub, a transformative project set to drive economic growth and create high-value jobs in East Lothian. This nationally significant development, located adjacent to Queen Margaret University (QMU), is poised to become a hub for innovation-driven business growth, fostering collaboration between research, industry, and academia.
The Hub's modern design and flexible facilities aim to attract and support high-growth small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in sectors such as technology, life sciences, and food and drink. By offering tailored office and laboratory spaces, the Hub ensures businesses can scale and thrive within a supportive and cutting-edge environment.
As part of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal, this initiative represents a major investment in East Lothian's future, underscoring the region's position as a key player in Scotland's economic landscape. Beyond the immediate benefits of job creation and business support, the Hub will act as a catalyst for the broader Edinburgh Innovation Park development, which will include homes, community facilities, and further business opportunities.
This milestone marks East Lothian's commitment to fostering a vibrant, innovation-led economy, reinforcing its reputation as a great place to live, work, and invest. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project as it progresses toward its completion in 2025.
