The future is built through collaboration 🤝

Last year at our London Calling event during SXSW, Andy Burnham shared his vision for greater collaboration across the UK, saying: “If London does well, we can do well.” 💭

Today, we’re delighted to congratulate him on becoming the UK’s Prime Minister. It was a pleasure for the Here East team to meet with him and continue the conversation about the power of innovation and creating opportunity at scale 👏

At Here East, we’ve always believed the best ideas are built together, and we look forward to working with partners across the country to help shape the UK’s next chapter.

The best career advice doesn’t always come from a classroom 💭

We asked our Here East Scholars a simple question👇

What advice would you give someone at the start of their journey? 🤔

Their answers were packed with the kind of wisdom every student (and professional!) should hear.

🎓 Since 2020, the Here East Scholarship Programme has helped talented local students from Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest access world-class higher education at the universities based at Here East.
