About Us

The Crowthorne Enterprise Centre (CEC) is developing as a hub for high growth technology-focussed businesses, reflecting the nature of business growth in the Thames Valley today.

CEC is the perfect base for start up or early stage companies, providing a professional environment in which to grow your business, along with a range of business support services you are likely to need in the first few years of operation. You can become part of a wider group of like-minded entrepreneurs through Centre-hosted events and an online community across the network of Centres run by Oxford Innovation via ICE (Innovation Centre Extranet).

CEC is managed by Oxford Innovation; the UK’s leading operator of Innovation Centres, in partnership with Bracknell Forest Borough Council. Oxford Innovation provides a range of services for the knowledge-based economy and to organisations with a focus on business growth, technology commercialisation and economic development. This includes 3 Investment Networks - including Thames Valley Investment Network – which links investors with businesses seeking funding.

Oxford Innovation also specialises in forming partnerships and working with key organisations such as Universities, government and regional development agencies, and technology business networks.

Networking Communities

CEC operates a culture of networking between Centre companies, fostered by weekly networking coffee mornings held in the Centre. Weekly Business Review Clinics with a Business Link advisor, are also held in the Centre, every Thursday morning. Here, companies can benefit from access to information, advice and support needed to start, maintain and grow a business.

If you are searching for the perfect location to set up your business, then look no further than the Crowthorne Enterprise Centre. A professional team, delivering an exceptional service in a friendly and nurturing environment awaits you.
