Solution

We were contracted by the CEO of Canary Wharf Group to design, build and activate the space. Founded in 2013, this led us to:

  • Develop the team, partnerships and advisory board
  • Create content for marketing, PR and white papers
  • Co-lead operations, mentoring, and a programme of membership events that included technical events, community events, business seminars and investor pitch days
  • Optimise the physical space, select high-potential tenants and support the growth of the companies
