Coworking Space: Rise Manchester in Manchester

A curated community where the best and brightest forward thinkers can develop, collaborate and scale together, Rise is a global network of talent and world-class innovation programs and workspaces. With a bit more than a helping hand from the financial giant Barclays, this is a hot spot to solve some of the biggest challenges facing financial services. Coworking members receive advice and mentorship from some of the world's leading experts, as well as having access to a global base.

An organisation with a history of technological firsts, Barclays is excited by the transformations currently taking place in finance, technology and business being created by innovative individuals. Rise Manchester will offer these intrepid souls a tailor-made space dedicated to the FinTech community. Open and inspiring, the venue was a former furniture shop - today it is a dynamic space where you can collaborate and learn, whilst mingling with people who are on the same path as you. You will have state-of-the-art facilities whilst rubbing shoulders with specialists from the big banks and technology companies, as well as other energetic entrepreneurs. There are 4 meeting rooms, conference facilities and a 100-seat auditorium that will really impress. As a coworking member you will have access to a desk space at one of the locations, get advance notice of upcoming programs and access to Barclays support and expertise.

When you feel the urge for a caffeine hit, the Grindsmith cafe is on hand and it will also organise any catering you may require if you are holding an event or business meeting. You get to work alongside other FinTech entrepreneurs in a buzzing environment of exciting ideas.
