In a significant boost for London’s thriving tech sector, Barclays Eagle Labs is set to expand its footprint by partnering in seven sites across the city, designed to support tech start-ups and entrepreneurs on their growth journeys.
In addition to the existing lab in Chiswick, Eagle Labs will now be available to access in: Euston, Fulham, Hammersmith, Lambeth, Whitechapel, Wandsworth and Wimbledon.
Barclays have also launched a dedicated London Growth Team, aimed at empowering small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to maximise their growth potential. The new London Growth Team will comprise 12 specialised roles, focusing on the unique needs of SMEs as they seek to scale.
The government has been clear that it aims to secure the highest growth in the G7 and has highlighted the importance of private sector support to deliver this. The expansion of these sites across London, with dedicated support for entrepreneurs, demonstrates Barclays are working hand-in-hand to deliver this mission.
