Our History
‘The Business Incubation Centre’ was first setup within the very walls of the Sony UK TEC Pencoed site in 2006 as part of the Welsh Government ‘Technium’ initiative by the Welsh Ministers. The intention was to encourage innovation, growth, and collaboration by forming a networking hub of like-minded businesses to strengthen the local economy.
‘The Business Incubation Centre’ is fully owned and operated by Sony UK Technology Centre, and remains true to its mission today.
Every business that chooses our site as its home is provided with the best customer service and environment possible to ensure their focus is on innovation and growth, rather than the practicalities of setting up and maintaining an office space.

Tenant Testimonials
Challoch Energy –
“Challoch Energy moved into the Sony Technology Park in spring 2022. We have an established business in Belgium and were looking to grow a new business arm in the UK with operations beginning in January 2022. We were looking for a well-positioned and appropriate office space for a small but growing business.
Our operations in clean energy fit very nicely with the Sony philosophy for the site, with renewable generation as part of the infrastructure. In addition, the complete package offered by Sony for the office, with a welcoming reception and excellent support, has made our start in life in Wales very smooth. The location is impressive for our range of visitors, from private sector clients to government officials.
Finally, we found other like-minded tenants in the facilities, one of whom we already knew from previous work. We very much appreciate our tenancy in the Sony UK Technology Centre.”
It’s My Shout –
“Since beginning our tenancy at the Sony Technology Centre in October 2010, we have found the office facilities to be very reasonably priced and within a secure and pleasant working environment. We appreciate the support of professional and friendly security and reception staff, who are always on hand to answer any queries, along with convenient postal distribution services and an on-site canteen. We feel well-provided with the conveniences and services that enable us to work efficiently on a day-to-day basis.”
One Nine Design –
“Operating a successful design consultancy is all about building confidence and relationships with our clients, something easily achieved with the facilities and professional support we get at Sony UK TEC. We often receive positive comments for the welcome our clients get when arriving at reception. The additional security requirements to access the site provide invaluable reassurance to our more project-sensitive clients.
Since moving into the Sony UK TEC office in 2010, our business has grown exponentially, and we have moved to a bigger office to accommodate additional staff/services in 2012. This daunting task was made easy by the members of Sony UK TEC, who made the transition seamless and painless. The access to all the amenities available on site has been amazing and provides a more efficient business model for us with dramatically reduced needs to go offsite.
Finally, the networking within the Sony UK TEC has meant additional business through other tenants and in return, we give advice and support when asked. It’s an environment for good business and advice with professional support throughout.”
