INNOVATOR STORIES

Innovation isn't just what happens inside our labs. It's who's in the building, what it's built from, and the neighbourhood it sits in. This is where we tell those stories: the founders scaling at Base One, the innovative solutions baked into the building itself, and the wider North Acton and Park Royal community we're part of.

BASED WITH US:

INNOVATION IN THE BUILDING

We didn't just build a home for innovators, we built it with innovation baked in.

It's important to us that we don't just host innovators in the building but also give them the opportunity to test their own innovations here. Demonstrator sites are rare, and just as precious to these companies as a chance to prove what their technology can do.

BASED IN THE AREA:

Base One sits between Park Royal and White City, one of London's most concentrated pockets of makers, scientists and artists. These are the people and projects proving that science and creativity grow better side by side.
