Tech City continues to nurture start-up companies

Posted on July 15, 2013 by Shoreabout

Despite the economic doom and gloom, Tech City has continued to buck the trend and provide the perfect environment for fledgling companies to flourish.

More than 15,000 technology companies have established themselves in Shoreditch in the last 12 months – all capitalising on the consolidation of expertise in EC1, combined with relatively cheap rental costs and networking opportunities. The district is already producing success stories, and with another consecutive year of record-breaking growth estimated for 2013, it would seem Tech City has an immensely bright future.

Tech City offers more than just a hub of technological know-how. A community of young start-ups has developed, with a number of shared working spaces providing the opportunity for entrepreneurs to share ideas, advice and stories of their Shoreditch experiences. ‘Central Working’, the open seating area at Campus, is one of a number of new, pioneering forums for the exchange of knowledge and tips on taking the next step.

Having gone from strength to strength since its inception in 2008, Tech City has seen the emergence of new and innovative ways for small start-ups to get a foothold in one of the world’s most exciting technology destinations. ‘Silicon Roundabout’ offers something for everyone – whether it be a one-man band looking for low cost shared workspace and networking opportunities, or an emerging technology player seeking to be situated at the heart of East London’s technological revolution.

Tech City Office Space too expensive for Start Ups?

Aside

So this week the report from TechCity Insider from Gfk has been the subject of a few headlines focused on office space becoming too expensive in Shoreditch for many emerging start ups. Tech City Investment Organisation has been dragged across the coals for too much chat and not enough action, but as Ben Southworld rightly points out, this has been spun, and doesn’t tell the whole story. In fact the report is not focused on Tech City Offices but more about an underlying lack of talented staff.

Trendy Shoreditch Office Space – easy to overpay at the moment but can we blame no10?

It is a true that rents have gone up in recent months in Shoreditch, and in some cases they are nearly double what they were 2 years ago. Shoreditch Office Space only represent tenants looking to secure offices or studio space in the East London area, and of course Silicon Roundabout is a key factor in the people we help. We still find value in the Market and help our clients from over paying. Certain buildings like The Tea Building or Zetland House are actually not full of Tech Companies as some people would expect, but they are bang on trend for what people want, and that is what we’ve seen driving pricing as much as anything i.e. people are overpaying for what looks cool and trendy.

We come across a mismatch almost daily in supply and demand. People who want offices, but can’t afford the ones they want, but it doesn’t mean they can’t have an office. If you are prepared to be unfashionable, Shoreditch is still cheap.

The most interesting thing we’ve read this week is actually not the Gfk report but actually the Guardian newspaper reporting on a piece of analysis carried out on the Tech City map. An alarming statistic that under 150 companies make up a list of about 1350 companies looking to be lauded as a Tech Start up, or at the very least part of the Tech Scene. No doubt worrying for TCIO, but for Shoreditch a healthy mix of Tech and Creative based industries strikes a good balance.

Joanna Shields says that “Tech City has become a thriving hub of tech-based enterprise and creativity,” “We have a vibrant community here, full of exciting emerging businesses that are growing alongside some of the world’s most respected tech companies.”
