• The only exception to non-lCT tenancy applies to already established, specific-purpose premises e.g. wet/chemical laboratories or facilities designed for biotechnological use.

Under the Industry and Technology Development Act 1998, the Minister for Commerce, Science and Innovation considers all lease applications, extensions and transfers of land in the Park.
