The University of Bristol’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus (TQEC) will bring together world-class education and research, industry expertise and civic organisations to innovate at scale and shape future skills for the city-region.
Focusing on digital, business, and social innovation, TQEC will strengthen partnerships and research collaborations with national and global impact. It will provide outstanding facilities for students to learn alongside industry and community partners, with teaching informed by evolving real-world challenges.
It will enhance Bristol’s reputation as a global destination for innovation and strengthen the city-region’s digital and creative economies. The University’s Quantum Technologies Innovation Centre (QTIC) offers dedicated facilities and support services for quantum and deep tech companies to launch, grow and connect. With a £35m investment from the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, the Centre is currently operating as a small-scale pilot at 1 Cathedral Square. It will receive a significant boost from 2026, when it will become part of the Bristol Innovations Zone within the main academic building – alongside a third Science Creates incubator focused on deep tech innovation.
Connected to the new eastern entrance at Temple Meads Station and with new walking and cycling routes, the campus will improve access to the city for its neighbouring communities. There will be open and welcoming public spaces inside and out, with dedicated facilities to work with local community partners and public and private sector organisations.
