Google has now joined global publisher Pearson to become one of the first founding sponsors of TechHub, a new co-working space and innovation centre for technology start-up companies in central London. The space has a launch party on Friday and officially opens on Monday 12 July.
It would appear Pearson came on board to tap into startup talent, but for Google the TechHub project is clearly of interest as a way to enliven the developer scene. Google's Reto Meier, Android developer advocate, says Google is supporting TechHub's aim to provide developers and budding tech entrepreneurs with "an affordable, buzzing and creative working environment." It can't hurt that TechHub will play host to developer meetups and there are plans for a device room / hackspace with lots of goodies in it.
TechHub launches next week on July 12 and has finally revealed its location: the ground floor of 76-80 City Rd, 10 seconds from the Old Street Tube station, here, slap bang in London's "Silicon Roundabout" cluster of tech companies.
