MORE skilled jobs are on their way to Ealing, thanks to a £150m investment by Imperial College London.
The university has bought a prime industrial site in North Acton, to create a hub for life sciences, business, and tech innovation.
The investment has been driven by a partnership of the university, Ealing Council, the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation and others who see life sciences as a key growth sector
The area is already home to start-ups like Multus Biotechnology, which is working to make cultivated meat more affordable and accessible, and Koalaa, which creates affordable and tailor-made prosthetics for children and adults.
The 9.6-acre site is currently known as the Victoria Industrial Estate.
