Nanotechnology climate-tech start-up Nium has signed for 7,500 sq ft of research and development space at MEPC’s Milton Park in Oxfordshire.
Nium, which utilises nanotechnology to decarbonise ammonia production, is relocating its UK HQ to the space at 126 Olympic Avenue.
Lewis Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of Nium, said: “Nium’s solution for producing green ammonia is innovation born out of necessity, at a fraction of the price and without the pollution from fossil fuels. As an ambitious start-up, we need the space, infrastructure and collaborative environment if we are to scale effectively and deliver a positive impact on the planet.
“When looking at other estimates to complete a facility to test and scale our emission reducing nanotechnologies, we were originally looking at a 2026 completion, but it took just seven months for us to set up out new basecamp at Milton Park – a real testament to the work of Tom and the MEPC team. We were attracted to the park’s track record of supporting start-ups, thanks to its ability to move occupiers around to accommodate growth. That speed and nimble approach gives companies like Nium the flexibility and agility to scale, whilst benefitting from Oxfordshire’s world-class talent pool.”
Tom Booker, commercial manager at MEPC Milton Park, added: “Joining the likes of Gardin, Wild Bioscience and Nexeon, Nium is another exciting Milton Park occupier and a welcome addition to our growing agri-tech and green energy sectors. We’re delighted to welcome the team to Milton Park, to play a part in accommodating their growth plans, alongside other like-minded companies.”
