How Croydon Is Becoming The Place To Be For Tech Businesses

How Croydon Is Becoming The Place To Be For Tech Businesses

In a recent study conducted by chartered accountants, UHY Hacker Young, Croydon came out on top in the top 10 fastest growing economies, with an annual growth of 9.3%. The newly regenerated town beat out some of its more established neighbours, including the UK’s capital. The reason for Croydon’s sudden growth? The increase of tech, fintech and creative businesses that are flocking to the town. Tech companies have been seen popping up throughout Croydon within the last 10 years, and now over a thousand tech and creative businesses call Croydon their home.       

Croydon Tech City

One of the biggest support systems for new startups in Croydon is Croydon Tech City. The non-profit organisation helps to nurture the town’s growing tech sector. The organisation helps to provide workspaces, events and support for any new startup looking to grow and evolve.   

How Croydon is becoming an alternative to London

Over the past few years, we’ve seen both business and personal rent prices shoot up in central London. This has had a huge effect on new startups in the area, and where they choose to set up their businesses. Croydon has seen London’s tech sector slowly migrate from the city to its more affordable area. Croydon’s amazing transport links into central London and to Gatwick airport mean that it’s easy to travel when needed, saving a huge amount of money for business owners. Not only is there an increase in tech startups, but Croydon has been on a 10 year long regeneration, to help bring more business and families to the area. With redevelopments planned for the town centre, Croydon is looking set to keep growing over the next few years.
