At R50 Website Design and Marketing, we’re always looking ahead – so it felt fitting to spend a morning immersed in forward-thinking ideas right on our doorstep. Our recent visit to Exeter Science Park gave us a fascinating glimpse into how the city is championing innovation, sustainability, and collaboration.
A Tour of Exeter Science Park
Located just outside the city, Exeter Science Park is a hub for businesses, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are shaping the future in everything from technology to environmental science. We were welcomed for a guided tour around the main building, where it was clear that this space is more than just offices – it’s a thriving community designed to encourage knowledge-sharing and growth.
The building itself is a modern, light-filled space, purpose-built for collaboration. As we walked through, we saw how start-ups and established businesses alike are working side by side, benefitting from the unique ecosystem that Exeter Science Park has created.
A First Look at the Net Zero Voco Zeal Hotel
One of the highlights of the visit was stepping into the brand-new voco Zeal Hotel, proudly located at Exeter Science Park. This is no ordinary hotel. It’s the UK’s first net zero carbon hotel, and walking through its doors felt like walking into the future of sustainable hospitality.
From energy-efficient design to eco-conscious operations, every detail of the Exeter voco Zeal Hotel has been considered with sustainability at its core. It’s a shining example of how the city is positioning itself as a leader in green innovation, and it’s inspiring to see such a landmark project right here in Exeter.
Why This Matters for Exeter’s Future
Our time at Exeter Science Park reinforced just how much momentum the city has when it comes to innovation and sustainability. With the addition of the net zero voco Zeal Hotel, Exeter is making a clear statement: it’s a city ready to lead the way.
As a local business, we left feeling energised by what’s happening in our community. The vision being realised at Exeter Science Park isn’t just about science or business – it’s about building a brighter, greener future for the whole region.
