Five early-stage science companies have signed for space at Leap, the new shared lab incubator space at ARC West London in Hammersmith.
The first cohort of innovators joining Leap are Solveteq, Reseda Life Sciences, Tachmed, IgEDAPT and Sea2Carbon.
Located within the new 150,000 sq ft Refinery building at the Hammersmith campus, Leap was created by Imperial Incubator in partnership with ARC West London.
Graham Hewson, head of incubation and prototyping spaces at Imperial, said: “It’s exciting to see innovation thriving in WestTech London. Welcoming five promising startups in our first month highlights both demand for high quality shared lab space and the strength of the joint offering from Imperial Incubator and ARC. Together, we’re creating the right environment for science-led ventures to launch, grow, and contribute to the area’s expanding innovation economy.”
Jim Stretton, managing director at ARC, added: “Combining Imperial’s proven incubator model with ARC West London’s state-of-the-art facilities and collaborative community, we’re giving founders the environment they need to accelerate their research and scale with confidence. The strong early demand highlights the pressing need for high-quality, flexible lab space and further strengthens WestTech London’s position as a leading hub for deep tech and life sciences.”
