Our film brings together voices from across the Here East community, revealing what scale means to them and why they chose this campus to build their ideas.</p><p data-block-key="pvbg">The film captures moments of impact from the past year and from the journeys of businesses that have grown here. From sparks of creativity to ambitious projects that needed room to take shape. The result is not a report but a portrait of a community in motion, where people, ideas and possibilities continue to rise together.</p><p data-block-key="sgbv">Here East is a place where space and scale shape the creative process. Volume becomes a resource, freedom becomes a tool and the campus becomes a platform for innovation. Across technology, design, performance and entrepreneurship, teams use this environment to explore, experiment and produce work that could not happen elsewhere.</p><p data-block-key="15fg2">With universities, startups and cultural institutions side by side, the campus thrives on collaboration, fuelled by the energy of East London. It is a launchpad for new thinking and a home for the next generation.</p></div>

I am immensely proud of how much the campus has achieved this year, supporting the community that calls it home. When you bring universities, startups, creatives and global innovators into one place, surrounded by the energy and creativity of East London, you create an ecosystem where ideas can grow, collide and become something bigger. That is what it means to create at scale.</p>

Displayed in Studio 10, the piece stood at an extraordinary 10 metres in height and stretched 12 metres in diameter. Its forty interlocking mechanical arms moved in a continuous, never-repeating orbit, weaving a single rope in a mesmerising sequence that felt both mechanical and organic.</p><p data-block-key="138is">The installation became a striking presence on campus, drawing visitors, collaborators and curious neighbours into its quiet, hypnotic motion. After its time at Here East, the artwork has now been shipped to MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania, where its journey continues on an international stage.</p></div>

It is a collaborative ecosystem that not only includes the incredible businesses that start and scale at Here East, but partners across the park, East Bank, including the London College of Fashion, V&amp;A East, UCL East, Sadler’s Wells East and BBC Music Studios.</p><p data-block-key="2l1f6">As a collective, we have a shared responsibility to make East London an economic success. Here East is central to that, having contributed £700 million of GVA towards GDP by 2021. It is a figure that continues to increase today as we expand our global reach, with 6,500 people now working or studying across the campus. But ours is not only a story of economic growth. It is a story of transformative academic research, new businesses starting and scaling, and international companies choosing this part of the capital to invest in and grow in. Being a driver of that activity across the Olympic Park is incredibly exciting and a true testament to the global reach that we have built and the global impact we continue to have.</p><p data-block-key="8ph74">Our global impact is driven not only by our own efforts but also by the accomplishments of our tenants. This report is an annual celebration of their achievements and the various ways they contribute positively to the community. Watch our tenant spotlight films below.</p></div>

These remain our golden threads; binding our mission to deliver shared prosperity across East London and beyond.
