Scale Space is a dynamic scaleup community of over 100 innovative scaling businesses, with 3 sites under management, anchored by its flagship 200k sqft site on Imperial’s White City campus, in the heart of the new White City Innovation District.

A Joint Venture (JV) between Imperial and Blenheim Chalcot, the UK’s leading digital venture builder, Scale Space’s mission is to support UK innovation by helping its member companies scale. It achieves this by connecting them to talent, networks, markets, and infrastructure, leveraging the assets and networks of its JV partners.

Scale Space provides office space, lab space, conference facilities and a comprehensive programme of networking initiatives, and it’s flagship White City site is fully occupied. Its thriving community also includes member companies from Scale Space Nottingham and Imperial’s I-HUB, creating a unique cluster of over 100 businesses across health and life sciences, digital and technology, AI, sustainability, and Security.

Its mission is to help businesses scale up by creating a community connected to the talent and expertise of world-leading universities – including the Imperial College London and the University of Nottingham – along with the UK’s leading digital venture builder, Blenheim Chalcot. 

Within Scale Space, members collaborate, share best practice and facilitate connections between customers and suppliers through regular meetups and professional and social networking events. These connections give scaleups access to essential resources such as talent, research, contacts and know-how accelerating their growth.

Members are invited to participate in facilitated networking events and roundtable discussions, fostering the exchange of challenges and knowledge and promoting collaboration. Members also have access to a digital community platform, enabling further connections with peers along with access to research and insights on various business growth topics from Blenheim Chalcot, the universities and their expert partners.

Member scaleups can connect with students and graduates looking for industry experience and job opportunities through the Scale Space Careers Fair, attended by over 300 students each year, and through one-on-one support from a dedicated talent specialist. 

Other benefits for members include access to a curated list of trusted service providers. These include scale up specialists in accounting, legal, PR and marketing, R&D and learning and development as well as suppliers of laboratory equipment and consumables. Regular ‘lunch and learn’ and other learning and development events are hosted by Scale Space’s service partners and community members.

Additionally, Scale Space collaborates with external consultancies to host events, including a recent session focused on expansion into Switzerland for Healthtech companies. This was in partnership with a reputable international expansion consultancy, who has built an active community of over 6,000 UK tech, digital and life sciences scale-ups, connecting them to a global partner network of more than 400 government trade and commercial partners and advocating for agile, digital, and borderless trade.
