As the name implies, this is where embryo Hub companies begin their business life.
The aim is to create a community of knowledge based pre-start and start-ups under the direct guidance of the Hub director. It is important that this is a carefully managed operation in order to assess progress, make key interventions and orchestrate partners when needed.
This takes the form of a physical focus but does not restrict company growth within the confines of the hatchery. Some space is available for hot-desking use, housing several people at any one time on easy-in easy-out terms
This is not simply a matter of buying office space but is the essential part of the nurturing process.
Hatchery Locations
Office and work space is currently offered to hub clients at two locations:
The Open University
Desk space for up to 18 individuals in the Hatchery for embryo businesses is available at cost effective rates. Phone, power, data and network connections are included in a simple monthly fee. Free Parking is available
Meeting facilities are free of charge to hub clients. Call Emma Turner or Chris Dunkley on 01908 377744 if you are interested in discussing either location.
