8 July 2025 Monthly Update- June The Sciopolis team has been on the move, connecting with innovators, exploring new campuses and diving deep into the future of place-based innovation. Here’s what we’ve been up to this month. Exploring Cambridge North with Zara and Charlie This month, we took part in Cambridge Wide Open Week, giving our new Head of Operations, Zara Davidian, a proper introduction to the Cambridge innovation ecosystem. From The Glasshouse to St John’s Innovation Centre, Allia, and the Maxwell Centre, the day was packed with insights and useful encounters. It was a reminder of how efficient and energising this ecosystem can be. We wrapped up with an Aperol Spritz at the o2h Group garden party. Meanwhile Charlie went to visit the new Co-Laboratories space at Niab to meet with Laura Grimwood . Together with Brydell she has created some great space for growing science companies. Clearly the model is working as their current spaces are almost full and they are working to renovate more of it. Cleantech in Canary Wharf In Canary Wharf at KPMG’s offices for the Cleantech Venture Day during London Climate Action Week, we saw founders pitch for seed funding in a tough market. What stood out? More women at the helm : a welcome shift. Second-time founders sharing honest lessons from past ventures. Diverse innovation : from algae-based coatings to carbon-capturing cement. Duplication dilemmas : could merging similar ventures accelerate progress? Energy storage dominated discussions, with AI-driven demand volatility a hot topic. Ruthless Collaboration in Old Oak (North Acton) In Old Oak, we met with Tom and Will from Creative Wick and Johnny from The Republic of Park Royal to talk about community ownership and the power of hyperlocal media. The takeaway? There’s no app for placemaking. It takes time, trust, and a willingness to learn from those who’ve done it before. As ever, we’re here for the ruthless collaboration . Universities & the Industrial Strategy The Government’s new Industrial Strategy 2025 hit home for us. Universities aren’t just part of the innovation system—they are the system. From spinouts to skills, they’re the connective tissue between discovery and deployment. We’ve seen it firsthand at White City Innovation District with Imperial College London. As Patrick Vallance put it: not every region contributes equally. Prioritisation isn’t exclusion, it’s strategy. 📖 Read the full strategy The Funding Gap: Still Real At the Creating a Superpower Conference , the message was clear: the UK is great at inventing but struggles to scale. Key themes included: The need to prioritise high-performing ecosystems like Oxford and Cambridge (“we’d me mad not to” said sir Patrick Vallance) A shortage of commercialisation talent and an opportunity to attract it back from the US if we can solve our VISA and taxation issues. Lessons from Paris, New York, and Kendall Square on scaling innovation fearlessly were really inspiring: what stood out was “conviction and authenticity” Cat wrote about it in detail in her post here Riverside Innovation at ARC West London We enjoyed a visit to our friends at the ARC West London Refinery —a stunning example of how science, technology, and urban life can coexist beautifully. As Councillor Stephen Cowan reminded us, “we should never underestimate the power of beauty in driving innovation.” Looking Ahead: Civic Campus in West London At the start of the month, we were delighted to announce that Sciopolis has been appointed to lead a feasibility study for a new innovation initiative at Civic Campus in Hammersmith & Fulham , in partnership with Upstream London. Over six intensive weeks, we immersed ourselves in exploring solutions for this emerging place—grounded in local ambition, community insight, and strategic potential. While the findings are currently under discussion and we can’t share details just yet, we thoroughly enjoyed the process and are optimistic about what lies ahead. 🔗 Read more about the project here Follow us on Linkedin for more updates

6 Oct 2025 October - Monthly Update Saying Yes to Talent, Chairs and Sustainable Stories September was a month of movement across campuses, communities and conversations. Our Oyster cards and Lime bikes got a workout. From immersive college labs to mustard chairs and air ducts in listed buildings, we saw how small actions and shared values can unlock real momentum. And in Old Oak, the story is gaining speed. Building Talent Pipelines: College Visits We began the month at North Hertfordshire College, thanks to our partners at CK Group. From GMP-ready labs and VR sets to reconstructed hospital wards, the facilities were a powerful reminder of how education and industry can co-create the skills our economy needs. Later, we visited West London College’s Ealing campus, hosted by Daljit Singh Bains and Julie Claridge. Specialist labs and immersive rooms showcased the depth of local talent being developed. These visits are part of our commitment to connect enterprise with education, building future tenant pipelines at One Portal Way while giving students a glimpse of science in action right in their community. We feel very strongly about our duty and opportunity to make an impact on this. Gamification with Purpose: Imperial’s Digital Media Lab We also visited the Digital Media Lab at Imperial College London, where digital media, VR games and immersive STEM experiences are designed to inspire the next generation. What stood out most was the team’s grounded approach. Technology was treated as a tool, not a trend. Huge thanks to Daniel Mitelpunkt and Robyn Lowe for the tour. Plenty of inspiration as we shape our own digital space at One Portal Way, and hopefully we will work with this talented team in the near future. Circular Economy in Acton: A Chair Exchange At 8am, Panji Kaonga from Fabulr Studios collected surplus mustard chairs from One Portal Way, North Acton (AKA Old Oak). By 9am, they were already in use at Scale Space, part of the White City Innovation District. A small but powerful example of circular economy thinking and a reminder of how close we are to our friends at White City. These everyday exchanges build bridges between hubs, between people and across WestTech London’s growing innovation community. Sustainability in Labs: Learning with I2SL We joined the I2SL General Meeting and Summer Party, co-hosted by Pioneer Group and Oxford Properties, for a first look at the transformation of Victoria House in The Knowledge Quarter. The standout feature was air handling units suspended on bridges, with visible ducts threading through Grade II listed architecture. A striking blend of heritage and modern lab design. Sensibly Sustainable #1 : Reuse First Our reuse-first approach is gaining traction. From sinks to chairs to whiteboards, we are re-homing and reusing as much as we can. Given the success of our approach and the feedback we re getting, we’ve launched the first blog in our Sensibly Sustainable series 👉 Read #1: Reuse First here Let us know what you think and share ideas we could pilot next! LEAP Incubator Opens: Optimism in Action LEAP, the new incubator at ARC in Hammersmith powered by Imperial Incubator, is now open. It’s an ode to optimism with inviting design, a roof terrace and access to world-class facilities. A single bench at LEAP connects scientists to a mighty network, and with the LEAP Pass two lucky startups could get it for free, for a year! Apply now. In just a few months, we’ll open our own hub at One Portal Way, with Imperial Incubator , and we can’t wait to link tightly with this network of innovators. Onsite On Tuesdays.. Strategy moves into execution at One Portal Way. We’re building a space that works hard for our future tenants and we’re thrilled by the interest we are getting. Want a tour? We’re usually onsite on Tuesdays, and have plenty of hard tops to share! Just ask Charlie, Cat or Zara to show you around the building and the area.

Explore how Sciopolis supports scientists, engineers and founders with flexible lab and office space across the UK. Learn about leases, services, community and the network connecting innovation hubs nationwide. LAB & OFFICE SPACES - FAQs Our hubs offer far more than ready‑to‑occupy labs and offices. We bring scientists, technologists and founders together in flexible, well‑designed work spaces - supported by our onsite community and by our network of specialist service partners. Whether you need serviced labs, furnished offices or hot-desking space, we provide solutions that grow with your business. Frequently asked questions What types of workspace does Sciopolis offer? Our hubs feature flexible lab spaces (which are set up to support Containment Level 2 works, both wet and dry), modern offices, collaborative areas, meeting rooms, event spaces, coworking areas, and a Café. Each site is designed for multidisciplinary innovation across life sciences, engineering, cleantech, deep tech and creative technology. What makes Sciopolis space different from other science workspaces? Sciopolis combines ready‑to‑move‑in labs and offices with an active innovation community. Unlike standard serviced space, our hubs integrate property, operations and ecosystem management: one monthly cost covers rental of the space itself, Wi-Fi, utilities, common equipment use, coffee and tea, compliance, maintenance, etc. while onsite teams connect tenants with mentors, investors and partners. Each hub belongs to a planned national network that will link Sciopolis communities across the UK, giving occupiers access to research, talent and collaborative opportunities that go far beyond a single building. What type of companies are best suited to Sciopolis hubs? Sciopolis is built for early‑stage and scaling science and technology ventures across multiple disciplines. We believe innovation happens at the intersection of sciences, so our hubs promote collaboration and cross‑pollination between sectors. Typical tenants include life‑sciences, biotech. healthtech, medtech start‑ups, engineering and cleantech innovators, deep‑tech and AI developers and creative‑tech teams working with hardware or digital platforms. If your business depends on research, prototyping or technical collaboration, Sciopolis provides the facilities and community to help it grow. What technical standards do Sciopolis labs meet? Labs across the Sciopolis network are built to containment level 2 standards and suited to most benchtop science. Key features include six air changes per hour, three-phase electrical supply, multiple power and data points, dedicated gas and air lines, vented extract for standard fume cupboards, lab sink, and vinyl flooring with coved edges ensuring easy cleaning and maintenance; ground-floor and some of the first-floor labs are built on concrete floors which will provide low vibration performance which can be key for certain experiments. More information on our labs can be found here What equipment and furniture are typically included? Fixed benching around sinks and a series of mobile benches are provided as standard allowing tenants to develop their own layouts. Additional furnishing can be added by tenants, as required. Tenants are generally responsible to provide their own science equipment, however some shared equipment is provided in Common Equipment rooms (see next question). What shared equipment is available? Equipment rooms typically include autoclaves, glass washers, flake-ice machines and demineralised water systems. These can be booked through the Sciopolis app. Does Sciopolis offer office space as well as labs? Yes. Offices are fully furnished with fast connectivity and meeting-room access. Options range from private suites to coworking desks. What common amenities can tenants use? Our hubs typically provide meeting rooms, cafés, breakout zones, social spaces and event areas. Tenants have access to tea points on each floor. Bike racks and showers are standard; limited car parking is typically bookable for visitors. Check out our locations (https://www.sciopolis.co.uk/locations)for site-specific information. How do I apply for space? Contact our leasing team.(https://www.sciopolis.co.uk/contact) We’ll arrange a tour, discuss your requirements and recommend the hub best suited to your work. How are service charges calculated and what’s included? Sciopolis locations charge an “all-in” rental fee for each office / lab. That includes service charges, meeting room access, utilities, maintenance, cleaning, business rates, security, shared facilities, site management, as well as programmatic community events. A single monthly payment keeps costs predictable. What’s the difference between Serviced and FRI leases? Sciopolis typically offers serviced lease agreements for ready-to-occupy lab and office spaces that bundle all costs into one monthly charge for maximum flexibility. For larger units in certain buildings, Sciopolis may offer FRI leases (Full Repairing and Insuring) which would typically suit larger occupiers seeking longer leases and more control over their space. Can leases be scaled or relocated? Yes. Our flexible approach makes it easy to expand or move between locations within the Sciopolis network as your business grows. How is waste managed across Sciopolis hubs? Sciopolis will hold central contracts for the management of most waste streams and will directly manage and handle standard non-hazardous waste via the cleaning team. Tenants will directly handle clinical, chemical and other specialist streams themselves utilising the central contract (at tenant cost), which will be managed by our local Lab-Manager. Who oversees laboratory standards? Each hub has an experienced Lab Manager who will be responsible to manage shared equipment, waste contracts, gas contracts and safety compliance, amongst other activities. Where are Sciopolis hubs located? Our hubs will be positioned within major UK innovation clusters with excellent connectivity to transport links. For example, our London site at One Portal Way (http://www.sciopolis.co.uk/oneportalway)is two minutes from North Acton station and 10 minutes to the Elizabeth Line, with further HS2 connectivity coming in the near future, making it one of London’s best connected Innovation Hubs. Check out our locations page (https://www.sciopolis.co.uk/locations)to see where we have sites. What support do tenants receive beyond workspace? Every Sciopolis hub is built around an ecosystem that combines space with people and partnerships. Support includes: • Academic and clinical connections – links to universities, equipment sharing and research collaboration. • Curated service network – partners provide expert help in IP, HR, finance, legal, marketing and compliance, introduced directly by our team. • Access to talent – introductions to recruiters and research networks. • Active community management – onsite teams foster engagement and track impact.

What investment or funding models are available? We offer flexible partnering structures, including capital funding options, meanwhile use agreements, and permanent conversions. This reduces upfront risk and accelerates commercial viability. How does Sciopolis ensure my property stands out? We create permeable, “science on show” buildings that showcase innovation and inspire the next generation. Each site is deeply connected to its local ecosystem and community, becoming a genuine asset to the neighbourhood while attracting and retaining a vibrant audience through events and activities. Our branding, identity and promotional strategies position your property as part of a UK‑wide innovation network, amplifying its visibility and impact. What level of involvement is required from me as a landlord? Sciopolis delivers end‑to‑end development — from design and build to tenanting and operations. We actively manage hubs day‑to‑day, so you retain ownership and control of your property without needing to handle technical or operational complexities. We also take care of the community and activate the ecosystem around your building. How can Sciopolis support larger masterplans? Whether you’re delivering a single building or a multi‑phase masterplan, Sciopolis acts as the catalyst that brings the wider vision to life. Our hubs function as anchor assets — early, visible proof points that demonstrate momentum, attract tenants and investors, and give stakeholders confidence in the long‑term plan. By activating a site quickly, we help shape the narrative of the emerging district, build community from day one and create the conditions for clusters to grow fast and organically.
