A PROPERTY consortium developing the Harwell site into a major high-tech employer has signed a deal that could see more investment in start-up businesses.

The Harwell Science and Innovation Campus is being developed in a public-private partnership between multinational property group Goodman and two public-sector bodies, the UK Atomic Energy Authority and the Science & Technology Facilities Council.

They are paying an undisclosed sum to sponsor the Oxford Investment Opportunity Network (OION) to boost the links between high-growth companies, investors and research organisations in Oxfordshire.

The sponsorship was announced at a Diamond Light Source facility event.
