Ealing Council’s Greenford innovation partnership strengthens WestTech London’s growing innovation ecosystem

The creation of the Greenford Innovation Partnership marks a development within the broader WestTech London ecosystem, adding momentum to a region already characterised by research excellence, industrial capability and fast-growing technology sectors Adjacent to major WestTech London hubs such as Old Oak and Park Royal, Greenford is well placed to contribute to WestTech London’s wider ambition to support innovation from early-stage ideas through to commercial application. The new partnership, led by Ealing Council, brings together landowners, businesses, schools and research organisations to encourage growth in sustainable manufacturing, logistics and green technology — areas already identified as strengths within the WestTech London geography.

Greenford’s established industrial base, strong transport links and concentration of nearly 1,000 high-tech manufacturing jobs reflect many of the qualities that underpin the WestTech London narrative. The partnership aims to attract additional green and high-tech businesses while supporting existing firms to adopt more sustainable practices. These priorities echo the broader WestTech London model, where proximity to world-class universities, specialist suppliers and established industry clusters provides a platform for applied science, advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies to scale.

A key focus of the Greenford initiative is strengthening pathways between local employers and education providers, supporting young people to access skills and careers in high-growth sectors. This mirrors WestTech London’s commitment to cultivating a diverse talent pipeline that can sustain the region’s expanding innovation economy. As the partnership evolves, it is expected to reinforce the polycentric nature of WestTech London – linking innovation districts across west London and contributing to the long-term development of one of the UK’s most significant innovation corridors.
