## About

Plexal Stratford is the UK's largest cyber, healthtech and govtech innovation hub — a 68,000 sq ft coworking space inside the Press Centre at Here East on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It's not a generic flex office. The community is curated around regulated-industry founders running on Cyber Runway, LASR, HMGCC accelerator programmes, with peer access to a 5G testbed on the Park and direct lines into government and corporate innovation partners. The fit-out is open-plan with snugs, private offices, meeting rooms, accessible design throughout, and event spaces that host investor days and demo nights. Smart-casual professional crowd, conversational noise level, focused atmosphere with social undercurrent. A free shuttle bus runs from Stratford station 6am-12pm weekdays. Day passes and hot desks bookable; private offices and team rooms scale by headcount. Best fit if you are building anything in cyber, AI, telecoms, climate or quantum.
