Business Southampton has become the first tenant of the new Ocean Village Innovation Centre.

The not-for-profit organisation will start the new year at the Hampshire premises, which offers office space in Southampton for local start-up businesses and technology companies.

Sally Lynskey, chief executive of Business Southampton, said the company is "delighted" with its new headquarters.

"Oxford Innovation, who run the centre, are new city champions and it is apt that we should make our new home here," she added.

Under its city champions programme, Business Southampton aims to recruit firms to promote the south coast city as a commercial location on a local, national and international level.

The organisation, which has leased two offices at the innovation centre, was previously based at the nearby St Mary's Stadium.

Ocean Village is the 15th facility of its kind to be run by Oxford Innovation and offers 30,000 sq ft of office space in total.
