Some 100 companies currently operate at any one time in the Park, which is operating at maximum capacity, while all new tenants require government ministerial approval to locate in the Park. Tenants include Australian Institute of Technology Transfer, Curtin University, Horizon Power and the University of New South Wales.

The park is home to iVEC's Pawsey Centre, a high performance computing centre named after the 'father of Australian radio astronomy' Joseph Lade Pawsey (1908–1962). The centre hosts supercomputing facilities and expertise to support the international Square Kilometre Array program, geosciences and other high-end science.

Ownership and governance

Technology Park Bentley is governed by the Government of Western Australia's Industry and Technology Development (ITD) Act (1998), which regulates the nature of businesses that can operate within the park, ensuring tenants' enterprises have a technological and innovation focus in research and development. The Minister for Commerce, through the Department of Commerce, manages the strategic direction and operations of the park.

Approximately 70% of the land is privately owned.
