MIRA Technology Park

Great to see our new Welcome Centre taking shape, with the frame complete, windows in place, and cladding underway! In preparation for its February 2025 opening, we're already deploying a digital platform designed to enhance the visitor experience from day one.   With new plots like Plot 9 coming online, the Welcome Centre will be pivotal in enhancing site experience and accessibility.    #Construction #MIRATechPark #TheFutureIsBuiltHere

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a group of students from Hastings High School. The students, keen on pursuing engineering or hands-on careers, got a behind-the-scenes look at HORIBA MIRA’s engineering and machine shop departments. They explored the wide variety of roles available in our industry and discussed potential career pathways like apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships with our team members. To round off their visit, they enjoyed a tour of our proving ground, where they experienced the cutting-edge test tracks used to develop products before they hit the market. We’re excited to inspire the next generation of innovators! #MIRATechPark #TheFutureIsBuiltHere

Last week saw the new UK Government launch their Invest 2035 strategy at the inaugural International Investment Summit. We were thrilled to see MIRA Tech Park recognised as a key strategic location as Europe’s leading mobility cluster flying the flag for the UK, for the Midlands, and for Leicestershire. Thanks to our HORIBA and HORIBA MIRA colleagues, our tenants, our suppliers, our partners, and everyone who has helped make MIRA Tech Park a magnet for investment and opportunity. Here’s to lots more! View the document here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMnRngqz #MIRATechPark #TheFutureIsBuiltHere

We enjoyed networking last night with the Science Park community to celebrate 40 years of UKSPA - The United Kingdom Science Park Association bringing us all together and raising important awareness of the unique challenges and opportunities for innovation-led sites like ourselves. The infrastructure, property, and community we build all contribute to a better, brighter future for everyone whether it’s in life sciences, clean energy, or future mobility. Congratulations to all the award winners and finalists and to the team at UKSPA for all they have done to support us. Special thanks to Warwick Acoustics Ltd for joining us for the evening and for choosing our site to develop their global leading and sustainably manufactured audio technology.   And look who we found in the latest copy of UKSPA’s Breakthrough magazine! Our Head of Commercial and Partnerships Jack Bartlett talks about why we are Europe’s leading mobility cluster and our ambitions for the future on page 27.

We're delighted to confirm the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Intrepid Control Systems to work together on how to support the market with data-driven optimisation around whole vehicle calibrations in the cloud and to support the migration toward Software-Defined Vehicles. Using Intrepid's data collection and cloud analytic tools, we are bringing the results of several customer and internal research projects to jointly offer OEM and Tier 1 customers a faster time to market with reduced numbers of prototypes, thanks to advanced machine learning-based scenario generators, digital twins and calibration optimisers – all backed up by cloud-based hosting. By incorporating these advanced tools that support virtual testing, simulation, and optimisation, OEMs can achieve 20-30% savings in project costs, while significantly reducing the need for costly physical prototypes and extended field trials. Nick Tebbutt, Head of Global Strategic Sales - Vehicle Technologies, HORIBA MIRA said: “We’re extremely pleased to be working more closely with Intrepid Control Systems on this opportunity. As the industry looks to develop vehicles in a more sustainable but faster manner, both companies can help provide optimal calibrations designed for global deployment quicker and earlier on in the project, resulting in big savings for our customers.” Carl Hills, UK Managing Director Intrepid Control Systems said: "We are thrilled to collaborate with HORIBA MIRA, we are combining Intrepid's advanced data logging and cloud analysis tools with our extensive experience in vehicle network solutions. This collaboration is designed to help OEMs and suppliers accelerate their development timelines, cut costs, and pave the way for Software-Defined Vehicles. Together, we are making strides towards smarter, data-driven calibration and a more sustainable future for the entire automotive ecosystem."

At MIRA Tech Park, we’re not just building the future - we're also preparing the talent that will shape it. Many talk about the challenge of training the next generation for roles that don’t even exist yet, but at MIRA Tech Park, we’re already developing tomorrow’s technologies today. That makes us the perfect bridge into this exciting new world of skills and opportunities. Our mission is to inspire young people to dream big and see how they can shape the future through technology and engineering. Whether through graduate programmes or apprenticeships, we’re dedicated to creating clear pathways for them to become the future experts. This year alone, our amazing STEAM ambassadors have connected with nearly 1,000 students across the Midlands, introducing them to cutting-edge technologies like AI, cybersecurity, battery electric, and hydrogen power - crucial to the future of mobility. Today, Sarah Windrum attended the careers fair at King Edward VI College and discussed apprenticeship opportunities with local students studying A Levels in electronics, engineering, maths, business, and computer science. Interested in engaging with young people or getting involved with our STEAM Ambassadors? Drop us a message or email us at talk@miratechnologypark.com. We’d love to hear from you! #MIRATechPark #STEAM #TheFutureIsBuiltHere
