LCR Innovation Zone Programme Management Board

The LCR Innovation Zone Programme Management Board provides strategic leadership, oversight and scrutinises the performance of the LCR Life Sciences Innovation Zone Programme and the LCR Freeport Programme. 

What is the LCR Life Sciences Innovation Zone Programme?

The Liverpool City Region is home to two UK-leading sciences and innovation districts, making it one of Europe’s largest bio-manufacturing clusters and centres of health and life science. The LCR Life Sciences Innovation Zone is a 10-year programme to support 20 projects that promise to deliver world-class facilities, developing new strengths and clusters and driving jobs and growth across the region.

Further information about the LCR Life Sciences Innovation Zone can be found here.

What is a Freeport?

Freeports are areas within the UK’s borders where different economic regulations apply. By delivering investment on specific sites benefiting from tax and customs incentives, freeports could create thousands of high-quality jobs in some of our most disadvantaged communities.
