Our members are supported with access to award-winning business support programmes enabling them to thrive and grow.

Our unique innovation hub formula unleashes businesses’ potential, enabling rapid business growth, creating an ongoing demand for more space and support, as well as delivering more high value jobs being created in the local market.  We enable our members to take their innovative ideas to solve the challenges of our time.

The building is pivotal to the success of the neighbourhood, both in terms of its central location at the heart of the emerging place as well as its programmatic use at ground floor. Working with Plus X Innovation in Brighton has allowed the design to be very specific to this placemaking task.
