Upstream London - The Innovation Borough

Since launching in 2017, Hammersmith & Fulham’s industrial strategy, Upstream London, delivered in partnership with Imperial College London, has attracted more than £6bn in investment and created 17,000 jobs - with the White City Innovation District at its heart.

The Innovation Borough brings together a dynamic ecosystem spanning science, technology, engineering, maths, medicine and media.

Anchored by global organisations including the BBC, Publicis and Novartis, White City represents a powerful fusion of scientific excellence, creativity and digital innovation. Here, Imperial’s deep tech campus drives advances in AI, medtech, engineering biology, chemistry and climate science, alongside more than 100 pioneering companies and world-class teaching and research hospitals.

Across the wider borough, the Civic Campus is redefining public space, Olympia is emerging as a global showcase for creativity and culture, and Earls Court offers London’s largest cleared site for cleantech demonstration. We are making tomorrow here. Join us today.
