Athenry food and innovation campus to be delivered in 2019

Galway Bay fm newsroom – Councillors have approved a proposal for the construction of a food and innovation campus within the existing Teagasc Mellows base in Athenry. The BIA Innovator Campus will involve three buildings with a two-storey learning centre called ‘BIA Eolas'. This will have four single storey co-working food laboratories for food innovation and product development. There will also be nine incubation units as well as a high potential start-up space. Acting County CEO Kevin Kelly told councillors there will be a requirement for funding with a recommendation to come before the council in due course. Director of Services Alan Farrell says it's hoped the project will be delivered in 2019. More at 5
