Crawley Innovation Centre

Crawley Innovation Centre helps small businesses at start-up stage, scale-ups or long-established innovative companies thrive and excel by providing a flexible and community environment that has modern offices, workshop areas and a provision of vital one-to-one business mentoring support.

Keen to especially support businesses working in cleantech, emerging digital tech or advanced engineering, the Crawley Innovation Centre is situated five minutes from London Gatwick Airport, providing unrivalled access for international business.

Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the centre features 24 high-quality offices, seven light industrial workshops for prototyping, product testing and demonstrations, as well as co-working and hot desking spaces, meeting rooms, event hire space and access to regular on-site networking events.

More than just a workspace, Crawley Innovation Centre also provides a unique package of business guidance via one-to-one expert mentoring from the Centre’s Innovation Director. At no additional cost to businesses, tailored specialist innovation strategy support can range from how to attract investors to navigating the funding landscape, to business growth strategies and marketing.

The Centre is led by Shelley Furey, Centre Manager, who oversees day-to-day operations and is the first point of contact for any business interested in joining the community. Shelley brings extensive experience in supporting local businesses and is passionate about creating an environment where entrepreneurs feel supported, inspired and equipped to grow.

Crawley Innovation Centre is owned by Crawley Borough Council but managed by Oxford Innovation Space, the UK’s largest operator of innovation centres, supporting more than 1,000 early-stage and scale-up businesses across a network of 30+ centres in the UK and Ireland.
