Applied Biotech Science, Discovery and Innovation Park (ABSDIP) is a world-class innovation ecosystem where public science, tourism & discovery, breakthrough science and transformative scientific innovation converge in a captivating atmosphere.
To build Africa's most iconic science discovery and innovation destination in Abuja—a world-class park where science is transformed into wonder, tourism, enterprise, collaboration, and breakthrough solutions for humanity.
The Abuja Science Discovery & Innovation Park will be a bold gateway to the future: a glamorous public destination that makes science unforgettable; a global convening center for researchers, investors, policymakers, students, and diaspora experts; and a restricted-access innovation laboratory ecosystem where cutting-edge research in genomics, microbiomes, biotechnology, climate resilience, health/medicine, food security, Robotics, drone and other advanced technologies is translated into intellectual property, enterprises, jobs, and scalable solutions for Africa and the world.
Our vision is to create a landmark institution that inspires curiosity, attracts global partnerships, powers the knowledge economy, and positions Abuja as a continental capital for science tourism, discovery, invention, and innovation-driven development.
Where visitors experience science at its peak through interactive exhibits, live demonstrations, hands-on activities like robotics, drone building and DNA-sequencing made simple. Discover Spaceship Earth, tour practical biotechnological applications, sequence your own genes and microbiomes, discover tiny but mighty allies of humankind—the microbes—and much more.
A glamorous resort destination where researchers, innovators, and visitors enjoy premium accommodations, fine dining, and recreational activities like tennis and swimming. The best time of your life, where science meets luxury.
An exclusive area with guided tours to advanced laboratories that generate intellectual property, from indigenous scientific knowledge, collaborative grants and rigorous frontline research. The Science Innovation Labs also host enterprise incubation, training facilities, genomic data centers, and AI-enabled discoveries.
ABSDIP is where the world's brightest minds converge. Researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators collaborate in an environment designed for breakthrough discoveries and real impact on scientific innovation.
Whether you're a researcher, entrepreneur, or investor, ABSDIP gives you everything you need – the labs, the resources, the network – to make your vision happen.
The Abuja Science Discovery and Innovation Park is an opportunity to invest not simply in a landmark destination, but in the infrastructure that will shape Africa's and indeed global scientific, technological and economic future.
ABSDIP is being developed as a world-class ecosystem where science, tourism, education, research and enterprise converge. The Park will combine three complementary assets: an immersive Science Discovery and Leisure Centre; a residential conference and collaboration complex; and restricted-access, cutting-edge innovation laboratories where researchers and companies can develop technologies, generate intellectual property and commercialize solutions.
This integrated model creates multiple revenue streams through admissions, exhibitions, educational programmes, STEMM training, conferences, accommodation, laboratory services, corporate sponsorships, research partnerships, technology licensing, intellectual-property commercialization and the incubation of science-based enterprises. At the same time, ABSDIP will help develop a highly skilled STEMM workforce, create quality jobs, attract international partnerships and position Abuja as a leading destination for science tourism and innovation.
Get equity in a projected 40 billion naira asset with an estimated 10 to 15% annual ROI and long-term appreciation as the park reaches full operational capacity. Unlock a far greater and rewarding return by shaping the future where it matters most.
