Company mission

To close the gap between organisations - small and large, local and global, private and public - and work towards a common goal: using science and technology to deliver national security and prosperity.

Our take

Functioning as a technology and innovation centre and workspace, Plexal creates a collaborative ecosystem for startups, scale-ups, and corporates across diverse industries. Members can take advantage of flexible workspace options and a wealth of resources designed to foster growth. This includes access to mentorship programmes, industry events, networking opportunities, and a host of support services such as business coaching, access to funding networks, and specialised workshops.

One of Plexal's strengths lies in its partnerships with various organisations, including government bodies, academic institutions, and technology companies. These strategic collaborations form the foundation for collaboration and knowledge exchange within the innovation space. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, Plexal facilitates the development of groundbreaking ideas and promotes innovation-driven solutions.

The company has seen substantial growth since being founded in 2017 in East London, and is well set to remain on its current growth trajectory.
