A COMMUNITY POWERED BY INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIA

Scale Space brings together the business-building expertise of Blenheim Chalcot, the UK’s leading digital venture builder, and the research excellence of Imperial College London, a world-leading university for science, technology, engineering, medicine and business (STEMB).

When you join Scale Space, you’re surrounded by world-class talent, breakthrough research, and pioneering scaleups. It’s a place where ambitious businesses thrive, and where academia and entrepreneurship come together to fuel UK innovation and growth.

IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON

Base your business at Imperial’s ground-breaking White City campus, and you’ll be working alongside world-class researchers, businesses, and academic partners in the heart of West London’s White City Innovation District.

A home for multi-disciplinary research

Scale Space sits within Imperial’s White City Campus , a truly unique, multidisciplinary hub for research, collaboration, and breakthrough innovation. On campus, you’ll find world-leading facilities like the  Molecular Sciences Research Hub (MSRH), where researchers and commercial partners collaborate on advances in clean energy, chemical biology, and healthcare. The nearby  Sir Michael Uren Hub, and School of Public Health unite engineers, clinicians, and scientists to pioneer advances in medical treatment, diagnosis, and global health through research, education, and policy innovation. It’s all part of a wider ecosystem where science, technology, and entrepreneurship converge to drive real-world impact.

An innovation ecosystem

Home to over 100 companies, Imperial’s White City Campus is a thriving ecosystem of innovation. Located within Scale Space, the Imperial Incubator  provides a first home for lab-based startups. Incubator members benefit from move-in-ready labs and offices, shared facilities and equipment, specialist guidance, and extensive university resources and networks to support their growth. The Scale Space community also welcomes members from I-HUB, Imperial’s innovation hub which supports knowledge-intensive companies and the commercialisation of scientific research. Together, our two buildings form one of the UK’s most exciting communities for tech and life sciences, designed to foster collaboration, accelerate breakthroughs, and bring cutting-edge ideas to market.

A community in action

White City Campus is founded on the belief that corporates, academics and the local community work better when working together. At the heart of this vision is The Invention Rooms, Imperial’s dedicated space for innovation and community engagement in White City. Here, Imperial’s inventors and entrepreneurs access specialist prototyping tools to bring their ideas to life, while local residents of all ages can learn to code, develop digital skills, and turn their own ideas into real, working prototypes.
