Geographical location

The Parque Científico de Alicante is located in the most strategic area of the province by its excellent connections (airport, harbour, A-7 Mediterranean Motorway, railways, roads). It is also very close to the city of Alicante and to towns with great industrial activity.

The Parque Científico de Alicante is located at the entrance of the industrial region of the mountain in Alicante, and is well connected with the valley of the Vinalopó river. On the other hand is located alongside the campus of the University of Alicante and is meant to be like a continuation of this one, accordingly with the last trends relating this kind of projects.

The location of the Parque Científico de Alicante presents important advantages of accessibility:

1. Direct access to the A-7 Mediterranean Motorway, southwards, a lane from the A-7 Motorways leads to the university campus; northwards, the access is done also directly through a roundabout where there is a direct gate to the campus. From this roundabout, it takes a few minutes to reach the Motorway from Alicante to Madrid.
2. This roundabout is also connected with a motorway through the interior of the province, a fast connection with the north industrial area in the regions of the Foia of Castalla and L' Alcoia.
3. The international airport El Altet is 10 minutes away. The airport has a 100 km service radio and a very broad network of international flights to tourist travelers.
