Local economies
We support tech founders across the UK to connect, innovate and grow in their local ecosystems. Through the UK Governments Digital Growth Grant, awarded to Eagle Labs between 2022 to 2025, we additionally amplified our support to include our Ecosystem Partnership Programme offering matched funding to organisations delivering support to founders in their local ecosystems.
Our shared workspaces have onsite Ecosystem Managers who know their local communities and can give more personalised support to those founders that need a space to work and the opportunity to network and create connections.
Our events enable us to deliver content and insights to all founders, no matter where they're based.
Our partners
Eagle Labs are collaborative by nature. We work with a nationwide network of partners who share our vision to help fuel the UK’s entrepreneurial economy.
