London – <\/strong>WeWork, the global flexible workspace provider, has launched Growth Campus<\/em>, a new initiative aimed at giving a boost to the UK\u2019s entrepreneurial ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has presented a huge challenge for growth-companies: from start-ups to scaleups, to corporate incubation projects, the crisis has stifled momentum. With innovation being key to a thriving economy, Growth Campus<\/em> will support this sector and its role in the UK\u2019s economic recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With small businesses and entrepreneurs playing a central part in WeWork\u2019s community, Growth Campus<\/em> is built on its expertise in providing its members with the network and space to help their business grow and thrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a main hub at WeWork Aldwych House, and campuses across London, Cambridge, Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh, Growth Campus<\/em> gathers a whole entrepreneurial community together both virtually and through subsidised space. Members have access to WeWork Labs<\/a> which offers virtual acceleration support: online access to mentoring and coaching opportunities, customised educational programming, a global network and member community, and exclusive member benefits and discounts to help them grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathieu Proust, General Manager, WeWork UK, Ireland and Emerging Markets says,<\/strong> <\/em>\u201cThe pandemic has clearly been an accelerator in disrupting the way we work. Working from home has stifled productivity, collaboration and creativity, and as many companies begin to think about returning to the office, Growth Campus<\/em> can offer the network and workspace designed to help businesses thrive. WeWork has always been a hub for entrepreneurs and we know the power our diverse community can have on driving success – now more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth Campus<\/em> is open to start-ups and scaleups, accelerators and incubators, investors of all sizes and corporates with an innovation agenda. Early members of WeWork\u2019s Growth Campus<\/em> include a broad spectrum of businesses from social enterprise to fintech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Zhegin, Venture Partner at Sistema Venture Capital and <\/strong>Growth Campus<\/em><\/strong> mentor commented, <\/strong>\u201cAs a WeWork member myself, I\u2019ve really enjoyed working with other members – some of whom I have ended up investing in. WeWork Labs has always been a great gateway into the tech ecosystem for both startups and investors alike. Growth Campus<\/em> takes this concept one step further and its new digital tool – Labs Expert Directory<\/em>, has been especially useful during this lockdown period – facilitating seamless connection and collaboration opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freddy Kelly, CEO of Credit Kudos, and <\/strong>Growth Campus <\/em><\/strong>member says,<\/strong> \u201cBeing part of the Growth Campus ecosystem will give us the space to foster ideas \u2013 when restrictions allow \u2013 and also help engender the cross-collaboration opportunities that are so vital in this industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
