Harlow Enterprise Zone is a new science and IT park in a campus style environment
with excellent transport connections providing a new development for advanced
manufacturing and life sciences/medical technology businesses. The on-site
linkages with Anglia Ruskin University provide a dynamic collaborative environment
between business and higher education with increased opportunities for innovation
and enterprise. The Enterprise Zone contributes to economic growth and the UK’s
export potential.
Harlow’s growing reputation as a science-led town, a reputation started in the 60’s
with the development of Fibre Optic Technology by Nobel Prize winner Charles Kao
at Standard Telecommunication Laboratories (STL), continues today with the
development of the Harlow Enterprise Zone. This is ampli�ed by the decision of
Public Health England to make Harlow its new headquarters and the location for it
National Science Hub. This will employ 2,700 people by the time of its �nal
completion in 2024.

The KAO Park development on the Harlow Enterprise Zone site also includes the
creation of the KAO Data campus adjacent to the business park. KAO Park is located
in the heart of the London-Stansted-Cambridge corridor and o�ers prospective
occupiers a range of grade A o�ce spaces.
Once fully developed, KAO Data Campus will comprise four data centres each split
into four halls designed over three �oors. It will be the only campus within 30 miles
of London to combine:
KAO Park has already received strong interest from businesses including defence
innovation specialist Raytheon UK, the global electronics company Arrow
Electronics and the world’s leading education and publishing company Pearson.
Businesses will be able to take advantage of KAO Data’s hyper-connectivity, secure
data resilience and scalable �exibility to support them and their innovative research.
KAO One at KAO Park is 100% occupied and Kao Two is 33% let with a further
52,000sq ft now available.
London Road North
The focus is on the creation of a Science Park, working with Anglia Ruskin
University to create a Med Tech Campus as part of this space. It is expected that
much of the development will be of a ‘design and build’ nature, given the very
precise requirements of much of the target sectors. Infrastructure work will
complete in 2017 and the �rst buildings �nished by spring 2018. The Science Park
can then create up to 500,000 square feet of space in its �rst phase and provides
opportunities for companies to design their own building in an attractive well
landscaped setting. The Science Park will also contain facilities such as cafes, a gym
and nursery.

Harlow is strategically placed in the heart of the London-Stansted-Cambridge
corridor on the M11 motorway that provides an opportunity for direct services to all
three locations, and access to M25 and West Anglia Rail connections. This will be
improved further from 2020 with the development of a new motorway junction on
the M11 to the north-east of Harlow. Access and connectivity within the town is
also easier than in more congested cities such as Cambridge and London with
additional road infrastructure supporting Harlow Enterprise Zone.
Harlow Enterprise Zone is also located in a close proximity to London o�ering 35
