Crawley Innovation Centre creates free business events to support entrepreneurs

Crawley Innovation Centre, based in Manor Royal, has launched a series of free business events to help ambitious local entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

Owned by Crawley Borough Council but managed by Oxford Innovation Space, business owners can attend various free events and workshops and hear from experts on topics such as how to navigate funding, secure your intellectual property, build resilient teams, LinkedIn for marketers and AI for high-growth businesses.

Alongside these events, the centre also runs 'Work From Here Wednesday', enabling business owners, freelancers and entrepreneurs to work from Crawley Innovation Centre for free for the day. Occurring on the last Wednesday of every month, it gives people the chance to step away from working in their spare bedroom or at the kitchen table and experience the benefits of working in a professional, collaborative environment, connect with other business owners, boost productivity and join free lunch and learn sessions.

Crawley Innovation Centre is open 24 hours a day seven days a week, with free parking and electric vehicle charging points. It features 24 high-quality offices, seven light industrial workshops which are ideal for prototyping, product testing and demonstrations, as well as coworking and hot desking spaces, meeting rooms and event hire space. More than just a workspace, the centre also provides a unique package of business support via one-to-one expert mentoring from the centre’s Innovation Director at no additional cost to businesses.

To sign up to these events, including Work From Here Wednesday, visit the Crawley Innovation Centre website's events page, email info@crawley-ic.co.uk or call 01293 922033.
