Since 2017, there has been more than £5billion in growth investment into H&F businesses – the biggest in west London.
Around 85 per cent of that investment has been in the booming science, technology, engineering, medicine, maths and media (STEMMM) growth sectors. The majority of those businesses in H&F are strategically clustered in the new White City Innovation District in Wood Lane.
H&F Leader, Cllr Stephen Cowan, said: “Major anchor organisations, like the Royal College of Art, Novartis, Airbus, ITV, Synthace, Autolus, NATO and many more have all made Hammersmith & Fulham their home.
“They’re offering some of the best and most wide-ranging opportunities for jobs and start-up businesses anywhere in the world.”
