 Google sponsors TechHub, a new London centre for technology companies and start-ups

London: Google, the global leader in search and technology, has become one of the first founding sponsors of TechHub, a new co-working space and innovation centre for technology start-up companies, located in central London. 

TechHub provides workspace, hosts events and will serve as a focal point for innovation particularly among European tech developers and entrepreneurs. Google joins Pearson as founding sponsors of the London space.

TechHub, launching in London in July, will see hundreds of members using shared working space and meeting via events and hosted networking. Located in London’s Shoreditch neighbourhood, dubbed "Silicon Roundabout", an area rich in digital start-up companies, TechHub includes workspace, meeting rooms, and areas for presentations and networking events. Other features and services available in the coming months include a device-testing room for mobile developers with the latest handsets available to book.

"Developers drive important innovation on the web and mobile. Google is happy to support TechHub's aim to provide developers and budding tech entrepreneurs with an affordable, buzzing and creative working environment in London." said Google's Reto Meier, Android Developer Advocate.

Google continually supports developers and the innovative technology scene around the world through developer events, meetings and competitions. 

“We're really excited to have Google working with us to support the tech entrepreneur and developer community. Google's role as a TechHub founding sponsor further demonstrates their desire to get right in at the coal face with tech innovators,” said Elizabeth Varley, TechHub’s CEO. “Google has some great stuff planned to take place at TechHub which will offer fantastic opportunities for our members."

The start-up and entrepreneurial community will benefit from the collaborative environment that TechHub will provide via a dedicated space in London for local innovators and visiting technology people. 

TechHub London is located adjacent to the Old Street station on London’s Underground network, and is about a 10-minute walk from the Liverpool Street mainline train station. Besides providing shared workspace for companies and individuals based in London, TechHub allows tech visitors from elsewhere in the UK, Europe, the US and beyond to plug into the vibrant community, work and meet.
