Bruntwood SciTech has much more to offer than just buildings – it’s on a mission to level up the Northern ecosystem by creating thriving innovation cities, where science and technology companies can form, scale, grow and thrive.
Bruntwood SciTech, a joint venture partnership between Bruntwood and Legal & General with over 2.4million sq ft across its portfolio, is continuing to lay building blocks to nurture thriving science and tech ecosystems in the North of England.
With 11 campuses spread across seven UK cities, we take a glimpse into a typical day across Bruntwood SciTech’s connected spaces in Leeds and Manchester.
On a very frosty morning, Prolific North headed across the Pennines to check out Platform in Leeds, the city’s ‘home for tech’ and dedicated start-up tech hub, home to over 100 businesses.
There’s a real buzz of activity in the business lounge area as a breakfast seminar called Platform Presents: Founder to CEO gears up to start, with a number of people deep in conversation, tucking into pastries and coffees from the buffet breakfast.
“It’s a real hive of activity. What we love about it is the ecosystem, seeing people discussing their challenges and opportunities all the time,” Katherine Megson, Innovation Events and Programmes Manager for Leeds at Bruntwood SciTech, told Prolific North.
