We would like to welcome ESTA to the Technology Park and thank Andrew and Murray for showing us around and introducing us to the facility. This has been a significant year for the Park with the changing of the University team and the growth in people and buildings. The long awaited opening of innov8 café has been one of the many highlights.

The addition of a smart glass panel, iGlass, has made this into a high tech presentation and marketing environment and one that will set the trend and direction for the future.

We hope all companies on the Park will contribute news items and distribute the newsletter to their staff...
