Westcott Business Incubation Centre
The Westcott Business Incubation Centre (BIC) is located on the Westcott Venture Park, near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Westcott BIC has been created for early stage businesses working in the areas of rocket propulsion, 5G communications, drones and other autonomous systems. It has been designed to help talented entrepreneurs with rapid product development, testing and growing a successful technology business
Westcott is already home to a thriving nucleus of space companies. The Westcott BIC will work together with existing expertise on the site and other planned investments, including the UK Space Agency’s National Propulsion Test Centre, Reaction Engines’ rocket engine test facility, and the Westcott 5G Step-out Centre in order to aid the development of new companies working within the Centre's focus areas.
The Westcott BIC is part funded through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and developed by the Satellite Applications Catapult, Rockspring Hanover Property Unit Trust and Buckinghamshire Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership (BTVLEP).
