How we’re helping founders to fly at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park

Building Blocks for Big Ideas

At Stadium Workspace, we’re creating more than just a place to work. As the physical front door to Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, Stadium workspace is designed to build an innovation ecosystem where founders in the health, sport and wellbeing sectors can accelerate their ideas and growth. Whether just getting started or already scaling, founders benefit from a community, valuable connections and tailored support to help them take the next steps.

Collaboration That Powers Growth

Through our partnership with Sheffield Technology Parks, we’re bringing the expertise and networks that have powered the city’s central hub for tech and science innovation, and putting them right here at the heart of Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park. Our ambition is to have a unique support infrastructure designed to help our founders and their teams to flourish.

Access to the Right Advice at the Right Time

This Autumn, things are stepping up a gear. Think free drop-in sessions with experts in investment, IP law, accountancy, cyber security and more, covering the tricky questions that keep business owners up at night. This month, for example, we’ve connected our community with MGRW Accountants, who specialise in helping tech founders turn ideas into thriving businesses with smart tax planning, mentoring and hands-on financial support.

Inspiration, Connection and Collaboration

But it’s not just about professional advice – we know founders need interaction, inspiration and motivation too. So, we’ve built a schedule of events to strike the right mix of learning and social connection. We’ve just hosted LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® with facilitator Angel Takoree, using creative play to unlock new thinking and deeper connections.

Coming up in October, our regular Stadium Social – this time in partnership with the Federation of Small Businesses – will feature health and wellbeing consultant Mike Lawrence, with a session designed specifically around our community’s needs. We’re also welcoming Women in Business for “Facials and Fizz”, a networking event with a refreshing twist of fun and self-care.

Continuous Learning Beyond Events

And if your schedule’s too packed for events, we’ve got you covered with an ongoing stream of valuable content including insights, advice and stories from our community and the wider ecosystem, so you never miss out on the knowledge and expertise that flows through Stadium Workspace.

Because being here isn’t just about renting an office or coworking desk, it’s about plugging into something bigger: a community, an ecosystem and a support network that wants to see you succeed, and has the collective strength to get you there.

Join the Stadium Workspace Community

If this sounds like the kind of space you and your business need, we want to hear from you, and we’d love to welcome you to an event so you can experience it all for yourself. While priority access goes to those based at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, our events and workshops are open to the wider Sheffield business community.
