M-SParc is a key part of the low carbon focus of North Wales, linking to exciting developments taking place on the ‘Energy Island’ of Anglesey. We are the buzz at the centre of this hive of activity, placing ourselves and our tenant companies at the heart of new and exciting developments.
There is a chance to create a world-leading cluster of low carbon energy companies, and provide links to companies within the supply chain. The recently announced Nuclear Research Institute based at Bangor University brings world-leading capacity in nuclear engineering to the region for the first time ever.
Anglesey is located in an EU designated Tier 1 Area and is therefore eligible for the highest level of grant aid available.
