The Chesterfield Innovation Centres at Tapton Park and Dunston were built to provide modern high specification workspace and in-house support services to attract new innovative businesses to the Chesterfield area.  The leases have “easy in/easy out” terms to encourage take-up and to allow businesses to adjust quickly to their changing accommodation requirements as they develop.
 
Both centres incorporate superb conference facilities that are available to both Centre tenants and to outside organisations. They are suitable for accommodating events with up to 70 or more delegates and are fully equipped.  Refreshments and buffet meals can be arranged as required.

The two Centres, in partnership with the Derbyshire Chamber and Business Link, offer a high level of business support and a superb environment for business growth.  This is recognised through their status as a European BIC and membership of the European Business Network through which businesses can access business opportunities throughout Europe.
