THE “incubator” centre set up for small businesses at the Edinburgh BioQuarter science park is now 40 per cent full after signing up a further two tenants.

Swedish healthcare firm Mölnlycke and stem cell provider Roslin Cells are the latest companies to move to the facility, which also houses a team that helps commercialise university research.

They join a growing list of businesses based at the site, including eye testing firm I2eye Diagnostics, a spin out from Edinburgh University that was launched in March, and dental technology firm Calcivis, which Scotland on Sunday revealed earlier this month had raised £1.2 million from business angel network Archangels.

Firms based at the park were given tax breaks earlier this year as one of finance secretary John Swinney’s enterprise areas.
