Barclays Eagle Labs at our Wood Centre & Oxford Centre for Innovation offers co-working desks, mentoring, business support and events to support young businesses to thrive and grow.

A partnership for success

Set up in partnership with The Oxford Trust, Barclays Eagle Labs Oxford is focused on supporting science and tech start-ups, spinout scientists, university graduates and entrepreneurs. The science and tech focus is to help the UK define areas of real competitive advantage on the global stage by focusing on industries of the future. The aim is to create a growth pathway so that businesses that graduate from Barclays Eagle Labs can easily move into office space, R&D labs in the Trust’s innovation centres.
