Penn Commercial's Vanessa Penn and Rachael Jackson were very impressed by the agents’ visit to Stowmarket Innovation Gateway on 22nd September 2026, kindly hosted by Savills, Hethel Innovation and Jaynic.
Located at Gateway 14, Stowmarket on the A14 at Junction 50, Suffolk's newest innovation centre sits within the Freeport East designation, giving registered businesses automatic access to a suite of financial incentives, including no employer NICs on new hires for five years, accelerated capital allowances and no business rates.
Designed by architects Frank Shaw Associates and rated BREEAM ‘Excellent’, Stowmarket Innovation Gateway is built to the highest standards of sustainability, with a green roof and solar panels.
44 flexible offices, coworking space, meeting rooms, boardrooms and conference facilities sit alongside collaboration areas, a café, and commissioned artwork - all connected by 10Gbps synchronous fibre.
A professional front-of-house team provide a warm welcome, and Hethel Innovation advisers are included in tenancies at no extra cost.
Stowmarket Innovation Gateway offers a new state-of-the-art hub in Mid/West Suffolk, where ambitious businesses - from AI and automation, to agri-tech, clean technology and digital transformation - can access the space, expertise, community and practical support that they need to succeed.
