Canary Wharf Group has opened its second ‘High Growth Space’ on Level 24. Its offering dedicated to tech startups has reached 80,000 sq ft in just under 2 years.
The new space will house Accenture’s Fintech Innovation Lab and the 36 companies taking part in the Cognicity Challenge which was launched back in November 2014.
Eric Van der Kleij, head of Level39 at Canary Wharf Group plc, said:
“A collaborative working environment is a crucial factor in enabling high growth companies to achieve their potential. With over 160 tech companies now based at Level39 and our High Growth Space: 42, we remain committed to delivering the right type of spaces and support for technology companies to succeed”
Both Level 39 and High Growth Space: 42 are 95% full. High Growth Space:24 with 25,000 sq ft will provide the ideal location for graduates of the Level 39 fintech accelerator.
The demand for space continues as London leads the way in fintech. Check out our Fintech Monthly Series with a new episode coming at the beginning of February.
