Barclays has partnered with Cranfield University to support the future innovators of Bedfordshire. The space in the heart of the University campus is tailored to the aerospace and aviation technology community, drawing on the Cranfield’s aerospace heritage. With a range of support services, including access to expert mentoring and funding opportunities, we can help you scale your business. Residents will benefit from business advice and mentoring from Barclays experts and access to world-class specialists and facilities at Cranfield University.

Cranfield is one of only a few universities in the world to own and run its own airport. Its unique facilities, underpinned by its global research airport, can further help aviation start-ups as they develop and test their innovations.  

More than just a co-working space, we also run a schedule of events to educate, inspire and connect businesses within the Cranfield Eagle Lab.
