What MIRA Tech Park does

MIRA Tech Park is a 1,000+ acre mobility and technology R&D cluster located in Nuneaton, United Kingdom, on the campus of HORIBA MIRA, a UK subsidiary of Japanese instrumentation company HORIBA, Ltd. The park offers tailored commercial property solutions spanning start-up incubator space, scale-up office and workshop space (from 1,500 sq.ft), bespoke workspace development (from 25,000 sq.ft), and large-scale advanced manufacturing facilities (from 250,000 sq.ft). Its competitive positioning rests on co-location with HORIBA MIRA's 40 world-class test facilities and engineering expertise, enabling tenants across automotive OEMs (Aston Martin, Bentley, JLR, Toyota), Tier-1 suppliers (Bosch, Continental, Dana), EV and AI-native companies (Wayve, NIO), tyre manufacturers (Goodyear, Michelin), motorcycle manufacturers (Triumph, Royal Enfield), and academic partners (Coventry University) to access testing and certification infrastructure that would be capital-prohibitive to replicate independently. The park houses 35+ companies connected to a network of 2,000 supply chain partners, with a 4 million sq.ft masterplan and a stated goal of £3.5bn GVA contribution by 2030.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring commercial property leasing (monthly subscription for smaller incubator and scale-up units) and longer-duration bespoke development contracts (multi-year licenses for custom-built facilities). Revenue, pricing, and occupancy details are not publicly disclosed; quote-based pricing applies across all tiers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting companies in mobility, technology, and defence sectors, supported by content marketing through the company website, a digital brochure, an in-house MIRA Tech Park App, news/media releases, and industry events. The operating entity itself is small (6 employees), consistent with the park being a property platform within the larger HORIBA MIRA group rather than a standalone operating company. Distribution is regional (UK-focused), and the company reports tenant-side outcomes such as £17bn in venture capital raised by on-park companies as ecosystem impact metrics.

Recent strategic activity in 2026 indicates active expansion of both the tenant base and the on-site infrastructure: a new development phase completed in February 2026, Volklec joined in March to build UK sovereign battery capability, CCAAR celebrated 10 years on campus in April, and Wayve (AI autonomous driving) and 3M (training facility) joined in May 2026. These moves signal a deliberate broadening of the park's verticals from traditional automotive into AI/autonomous, battery/clean energy, and workforce training, executed through ongoing buildout of the masterplan capacity rather than M&A.
