SmartParc was conceived to address the challenges of the food manufacturing industry with the aim of developing sustainable food production for the future. It is a new asset class specifically designed by people from our industry for our industry.

SmartParc will offer a collection of campus-style parks, providing new collaborative food manufacturing hubs. With “state of the art” manufacturing units, a shared distribution hub utilising new technologies to improve efficiency, our mission is to reduce the carbon footprint of food production.

By backing innovative projects like this one, we are levelling up areas across the country by building stronger and more resilient local economies, which can support jobs and prosperity in our communities.
