Dundee: Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc


Key Sectors: Industrial and manufacturing

OVERVIEW

A unique private-public sector partnership between Michelin, Dundee City Council and Scottish Enterprise, Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc (MSIP) is utilising a £60 million funding package to transform a 32-hectare site to create spaces for manufacturing, launch a Skills Academy and create an extensive Innovation Programme.

LOCATION

Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc is transforming a former industrial manufacturing site into an Innovation Parc focused on sustainable mobility and decarbonisation.
Located on the east coast of Scotland, the city of Dundee offers national and global connectivity by air, road and rail.

With a 32-hectare site and excellent physical and digital connectivity, MSIP offers dynamic space for all sizes of businesses to locate.
