Tech City is a thriving community of tech and digital creative companies in East London.
The original cluster around ‘Silicon Roundabout’ in Shoreditch has now grown to more than 700 tech and digital creative companies. You can find out more about the growth of the cluster here .
Alongside the start-ups and small businesses like Playmob, EDITD and Lightbox, are leading international tech companies such as Cisco and Google. A well-established network of incubators like Seedcamp and White Bear Yard provide early stage funding and support to entrepreneurs, while top international investors including Accel and Index have operations in the area. Leading academic institutions including UCL and Imperial have also made commitments establish research and development facilities in Tech City.
