About Barclays Eagle Lab
Eagle Labs started by taking over under-used Barclays branches and offices and converting them into thriving spaces, tailored to the needs of the local business community by creating a hub for sharing ideas, experiences, and encouraging collaboration and innovation.
Eagle Labs are set up to give entrepreneurs and business founders access to the right people, knowledge, and opportunities to scale – running a series of educational growth programmes, online events and an online support hub to help founders develop the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
