Alliance Boots today announces a collaboration with BioCity, the UK’s leading bioscience incubation company, to establish a new business incubator focused on health and wellness called MediCity.

MediCity, a new subsidiary of BioCity, will provide innovative start-up and growing businesses in the health and wellness sector with fully serviced office and laboratory space, based within the Nottingham Enterprise Zone on the Alliance Boots site in Beeston. It represents a promising step in the site’s development and will encourage new businesses into the Nottingham area.

BioCity Nottingham Ltd, the UK’s leading provider of life sciences business incubation services, has been appointed by AstraZeneca to establish a new centre for bioscience companies at Alderley Park in Cheshire. The BioHub, will initially provide 36,000 sq ft of high-end laboratory and office facilities for early-stage and growing firms engaged in innovative drug discovery and development. Demand for accommodation is expected to be competitive with the first three tenant companies due to move on site today.

BioCity Nottingham has completed a major refurbishment of office suites and central communal areas worth in excess of £450,000. The building reconfiguration and redecoration in the UK’s busiest bioscience business incubator began in December 2012 and was officially completed in March this year. BioCity’s position in the heart of Nottingham’s new Creative Quarter continues to attract ambitious life science start-up companies looking for the best facilities as well as on-site business advice.
