Business Support is what makes M-SParc different

M-SParc won’t leave any of our tenants to ‘go it alone’. Support involves nurturing and supporting businesses, helping to make connections and to create a community, ensuring tenant companies are part of an eco-system to guide them on their journey.

We’ve built up a community of support that can assist you, including in-house R&D Tax specialists, HR Advice, and Commercial Lawyers. As we’re wholly owned by Bangor University we can link you directly to Bangor University’s research expertise. If you’re looking to employ, we can help link you to graduates with the right skills. We also offer enterprise support to University students, and ensure our tenants benefit from this.

All tenants will benefit from this service, as well as those on the Virtual Tenant +. 

Innovation and Commercialisation Support

As we have said, M-SParc won’t let any of our tenants “go it alone”, the same applies for commercialisation of IP and new ideas.  Gwenllian works closely with our tenants, our ecosystem and the business community of North Wales to support with commercialisation projects and supporting with Intellectual Property matters.

Gwenllian works within the Innovation Team and works closely with the IRIS team at Bangor University along with other partners, institutions and sectors to support successful exploitation of IP and ideas.

Through the AgorIP Programme you can currently access expert support to advise and guide you on your commercialisation journey.
