With a large labour supply on the doorstep, the core objective of the FEP is to facilitate growth in the agri-food and agri-tech sectors, and to encourage and support food and drink processing and production.

The proximity of the FEP to the Norwich Research Park (approximately 6 miles) will enable occupiers to collaborate with, and benefit from, the world class food and bioscience research and development being undertaken by the John Innes Centre, the Quadram Institute (formerly called the Institute for Food Research), the Sainsbury Laboratory, the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital. Easton College and Suffolk Rural is approximately one mile from the FEP.
