Imperial College London will drive the development of the WestTech Corridor through the purchase of a prime industrial site in Old Oak.
Imperial College London has confirmed the purchase of a prime industrial site in the London Borough of Ealing from SEGRO plc to drive the development of the WestTech Corridor, a new globally competitive deep tech innovation ecosystem across West London.
The announcement comes as the UK Government’s International Investment Summit brings together global business leaders to showcase the growth potential for new technologies and catalyse investment in the UK.
The WestTech Corridor will act as a powerful engine for investment, inclusive economic growth, and job creation at a local, regional, and national level, creating both a world-leading hub for innovation, entrepreneurship and technological advancement, and a global beacon of scientific and technological imagination for the UK.
The WestTech Corridor will be anchored by Imperial’s major science and innovation locations across West London in South Kensington-Albertopolis, Paddington Life Sciences Cluster, White City Innovation District and Old Oak and Park Royal.
