Norwich Research Park (NRP) is a business community located to the southwest of Norwich in East Anglia close to the A11 and the A47 roads. Set in a 568-acre (230-hectare) area of parkland, it is one of five Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funded Research and Innovation Campuses. It is the only site with three BBSRC funded research institutes and is considered as having one of Europe's largest concentrations of researchers in the fields of agriculture, genomics, health and the environment.^[1]

The focus of the community is on creating and supporting new companies and jobs based on bioscience.^[2] It is also a partnership between the University of East Anglia, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and four independent world-renowned research institutes (John Innes Centre, Quadram Institute, Earlham Institute, and The Sainsbury Laboratory) linked to the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. There are over forty businesses located on the site over 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²) of office and lab space with over 12,000 people, including 3,000 researchers and clinicians with an annual research spend of over £164 million.^[3]
