“The Combined Universities in Cornwall was created with economic regeneration at its heart. With that in mind European investment, under Objective One and now Convergence, has always been strategically directed at strengthening the links between academia and business. This building and concept will further this integral aim and, with the added benefits of the recently announced super fast broadband provision for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, will support new, established and above all ambitious businesses particularly in the digital and creative sectors.”Carleen Kelemen, Director of the Convergence Partnership Office for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
