Investment at i3, Irvine, will result in the creation of a Digital Processing Manufacturing Centre (DPMC) at i3, Irvine Enterprise Area to provide a Centre of Excellence for digital automation and approximately 8,830 sqm of flexible advanced manufacturing space serving digital process industries. This will build on current Life Science Clustering at the site, and will facilitate R&D activity, start up, spin out, and growth of Life Science businesses and other advanced manufacturing opportunities.
The Flexible Space project seeks to provide modern and sustainable business space in an area of market failure where there is a high demand as a significant percentage of existing industrial buildings are out-dated, around 40 years old and are not energy efficient. The project is looking to attract inward investment from advanced manufacturing companies or from local companies seeking to grow and expand.

This project will receive funding of £21 million:
• £11 million from the Scottish Government;
• £5 million from the UK Government;
• £5 million from North Ayrshire Council.
