By Bristol24/7  Monday Apr 8, 2024

Barclays’ Eagle Labs has expanded its reach to Bristol with the official opening of its 37th location at Engine Shed, the University of Bristol’s innovation hub situated next to Temple Meads station. This move aims to bolster the innovation ecosystem in the West of England by providing startups and entrepreneurs with crucial resources and networking opportunities.

The new Bristol Eagle Labs will serve as a dynamic space offering business expertise, banking services, and mentoring from scale-up specialists. Members will also benefit from connections with like minded entrepreneurs, local organisations, universities, industry bodies, and potential clients and investors across the country.

Jack Jordan-Connelly has been appointed as the Eagle Labs’ ecosystem manager for Bristol and will be based at Engine Shed. With extensive experience in the regional tech sector, including roles at SETsquared Bristol, cybersecurity startup Immersive Labs, and tech consultancy Tech Scale, Jack is well positioned to support and connect members with Eagle Labs’ network and resources.
