Coworking in Liverpool: The North West's digital and creative hub
Liverpool's economic impact, rooted in its contributions since the Industrial Revolution, continues to shape the global landscape.
The city's legacy in film, music, and television is now complemented by a significant investment in digital infrastructure. This is aimed at fostering a competitive edge for its creative and tech sectors.
Notably, the Baltic Triangle and Ten Streets areas are becoming vibrant hubs for cultural business clusters. The city is also home to pioneering research and development projects and is a nexus for public-private partnerships.
Regus offers shared office spaces in Liverpool’s dynamic environment, inviting businesses to become part of its flourishing creative, media, and tech ecosystem.
7 reasons Liverpool is great for creative coworking spaces
Liverpool’s growth in the last two decades has been amazing. One of the city's great strengths is that it's held on to its unique identity through this great reinvention.
Here are seven key reasons why a shared office space in Liverpool attracts media, creative, and tech businesses from around the UK and the world.
1. The Baltic Triangle
Just steps from the renowned Albert Docks, the Baltic Triangle area of Liverpool thrives as a vibrant community of entrepreneurs leading the North West's most innovative artistic and creative firms.
The area is where you'll find a hub of entrepreneurs in charge of the North West's most exciting artistic and creative firms. This district is a melting pot where digital innovators and designers mingle with artists and musicians.
Its visual appeal is undeniable, featuring a mix of refurbished Grade II-listed warehouses and sleek modern spaces. The unique combination of architecture, amenities, and dynamic individuals positions the Baltic Triangle as a burgeoning hub for both business and leisure.
2. Creative and digital centre
Around 19,000 individuals work in the sector across 3,500 companies in the city's creative and digital hubs. This UNESCO "Music City" has the second fastest-growing cultural and digital cluster in the country.
The city’s ability to attract the very best creative talent is what drives its vibrant arts, fashion, and entertainment sectors.
The film and television industry is also booming here as the city has announced exciting plans for new studio complexes. Studio time will no doubt be in great demand from Liverpool's array of independent production companies.
The city is also a supercomputing powerhouse, due to the university's top-ranked computer science department and world-class research facilities. The city is leading the way in big data, robotics, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things.
This is clear thanks to Disney, the BBC, Sony, Amazon, Nintendo, and Google each having a base here.
3. Vibrant community
The city is aiming to become a science and innovation world power by 2030. Forward-thinking local universities and educational establishments will be key to this. Their vision is ongoing innovation, collaboration, and partnership with the city's businesses.
Backing that up is investments and lots of it. There is £725m worth of funding for R&D projects already underway in the city, with £2bn more to come.
The ambitious Liverpool City Region Combined Authority wants the city to be a leading R&D centre by 2030. Net-zero, AI, health, and life sciences are just some of the areas where the city wants to establish leadership.
It's not just big business the city is embracing partnerships with. Liverpool’s £5.1m Horizons programme was launched to support the growth of over 100 SMEs across the city's six boroughs.
There's a great networking scene in Liverpool too which further adds to the sense of community. Liverpool Chamber runs regular events where business owners can meet each other in its stunning city centre building.
4. Thriving tech ecosystem
The city is also an international magnet for companies in the tech sector. That's also made it a magnet for investors wanting to find and fund future tech innovators.
Local tech firms secured a record 85 equity investments in one year alone. There was also a surge in venture capital investment in 2024, rising to an impressive 657%.
This has outpaced all other UK cities and helped cement the city's reputation as a leader in the digital economy. Liverpool is now one of the best places in Britain to run a business, particularly in the e-health, AI, and fintech sectors.
5. Growing creative network
Liverpool is home to a community of 15,000 freelance artists and creatives. Creative and media companies set up here because they know that there is an abundance of industry-leading talent available to empower their workforce.
It has also given developers the confidence to invest in the exciting new Ten Streets Creative District. This area will be home to the new Everton Stadium and is expected to create 2,500 new creative jobs in the coming years.
6. Innovative business hub
Liverpool is where you'll find some of the country’s most exciting and talented creative media and gaming content firms. In just over a decade, the sector grew by 55%, compared to 17% growth elsewhere in the country.
The city's culture of innovation through networking has helped the city achieve this hyper-growth. This is thanks to networks like the Creative Kitchen, which connects digital and creative people with regular events.
There’s also North West Indies, a group of independent North West England games developers, among many others.
Another sign of confidence in the city was the choice of Liverpool as the new regional HQ for the British Interactive Media Association.
With its goal of becoming net zero by 2040 and a global leader in renewable energy and industrial decarbonisation, Liverpool has wielded public-private partnerships to drive towards this commitment
There are two leading science campuses here, the Knowledge Quarter Liverpool and SciTech Daresbury. The latter’s Hartree Centre is a collaboration with IBM Research and is home to the world’s most powerful supercomputer.
The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine has the nation’s highest per capita FTE research income. That’s thanks in part to its funding from the Wellcome Trust and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Liverpool City Region’s Innovation Board is another important player. Focusing on R&D in technology and science, its role is to help companies commercialise their inventions.
7. Investment in digital infrastructure
Any successful modern city needs world-class connectivity. The ambitious LCR Connect project aims to turn Liverpool into the most advanced digitally connected area in the UK. It will ensure the city's infrastructure meets world-class standards for its businesses and residents alike.
The Combined Authority is spending £30m on a 214 km full-fibre, gigabit-capable network across the city. It'll provide a boost to 28,000 companies and help support the growing health, life sciences, AI, and advanced manufacturing sectors.
