Delivering economic growth and pioneering breakthroughs that shape and meet challenges of the future.
AMIDS is currently home to two world-class innovation centres, the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) and the Medicine Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) with a third, the Oligonucleotide Manufacturing Innovation Centre of Excellence (OMICE) under construction and due to open in 2026.
The next phase of development will see the establishment of Tech Terrace – speculative units ranging from 200 to 3,200 sq m providing much needed space for spin out organisations and those looking to scale up in a supportive, collaborative, and entrepreneurial environment. Design and build solutions will also be delivered to meet specific property requirements within a planning in principle consent for approximately 75,000 sq m.
Targeted occupiers include those working in the field of high-value manufacturing innovation in the Space, Life Sciences, Photonics and Net Zero industries.
The site, situated next to Glasgow International Airport, provides occupiers with excellent transport links, connecting them to global opportunities. AMIDS also features Scotland’s most advanced low-carbon district heating network, benefits from over £40 million in infrastructure investment, and includes high-quality public realm and green space in its plans.
