Ingenza, a world-leading contract research, development and manufacturing organisation (CRDMO) and technology accelerator, has signed a 10-year lease at the Moubray Building at Edinburgh Technopole, part of Pioneer Group.

Following a detailed strategic review, the company has embarked on the creation of a multi-million-pound facility to help drive its ambitious growth plans. The purpose-built premises will more than double the company’s current footprint to approximately 25,000 sq ft, expanding its fermentation and research facilities.

Edinburgh Technopole is one of twelve life science campuses in the UK managed by Pioneer, as well as an integral partner in the Midlothian Science Zone, a world-leading centre of research excellence in animal health and life sciences.

John Mackenzie, Director (Scotland) at Pioneer says: "We are delighted that Ingenza will be locating with us at Edinburgh Technopole. As a UK and world leader in industrial biotechnology, Ingenza is a very welcome addition to Pioneer’s ecosystem. Importantly, the business is remaining in the Midlothian Science Zone, whilst expanding its lab and office operations and creating up to 50 new jobs. Ingenza’s growth is hugely positive for our local life sciences cluster, being an exemplar Pioneer model of local economic development, partnership and impact that will accelerate scientific discovery.”

Jaymin Amin, Chief Business Officer of Ingenza, says: “The expansion is a landmark investment for Ingenza, enabling us to increase our fermentation scale to 100L, as well as expanding our research and development labs to support larger programmes. Our inGenius™ platform technology is redefining drug substance development and sustainable biotech manufacturing, and this exciting move will provide an independent, world-class facility to better serve customers worldwide, accelerating our business growth.”

Ingenza anticipates moving into the new facility in Q2 of 2025.
