About.
Factory Cheltenham is a 160,000 sq. ft. innovation centre designed to foster connections between the most innovative minds and companies in the cyber industry, while building links with other sectors. Situated at the gateway of the iconic £1B Golden Valley Development in Cheltenham, at the epicentre of a thriving cyber innovation ecosystem, Factory Cheltenham is recognised as the National Cyber Innovation Centre within HMG’s National Cyber Strategy.
The thoughtful design promotes collaboration between innovators, creatives and locals, combining flexible office, social, and amenity spaces amidst a stunning landscape. Opening in 2026, we are building a national asset driving innovation to make the UK the safest place to live and do business online – an exceptional work environment blending technical innovation with Cheltenham’s unique heritage and Cotswolds beauty.
Factory Cheltenham, the National Cyber Innovation Centre, joins a dynamic local ecosystem promoting culture, tech, innovation and national security. Working alongside key players, we aim to elevate the ecosystem's national significance through events, activities, and new formats leading up to 2026. Factory Cheltenham is a Factory project developed by HBDxFactory in partnership with the Cheltenham Borough Council
