Accelerating Innovation, Transforming Cities

SHIFT is a catalyst for innovators in east London. We work with startups, businesses, innovators and academics to improve local outcomes and set the standard for sustainable cities worldwide.

SHIFT accelerates innovation that transforms how we live in cities, focussing on the major challenges of city life.

Our mission

Your Real-World Testbed

Innovators often need a place to trial their idea, prove it works or roll it out at scale. Our home is east London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – a real-world testbed across 560 acres where we invite you to experiment, collaborate and innovate.
