Celebrating 5 years of innovation
At Nexus, we’ve been making conversations happen for 5 years. The good news? We’re just getting started. Innovation starts with conversation. Be part of the conversation.
Innovation starts with conversation
A lot can happen in 5 years – we’ve gone from a concept to a community; turned bright ideas into international brands. Made connections that count.
Together, we’re making an impact across the North, sparking innovation that makes a difference.
Leeds is going from strength to strength. Let’s keep up the momentum.
5 YEARS OF INNOVATION: THE GROWTH OF NEXUS AND OUR COMMUNITY
Take a look back over the past 5 years, from construction site to the present day at Nexus.
A community of over 130 businesses doing things that matter.
From digital twins to medical devices, flood defences to carbon accounting, our members are driving innovation in the real world.
To celebrate our 5 year anniversary, we revisited 5 conversations from our The View from Here series. In these conversations we speak to key figures in the region who share their insights on the how things have changed since we last spoke and what opportunities and challenges lie ahead.

Innovation really does start with conversation
Vet-AI was one of the earliest companies to team up with Nexus – the first tenant to secure a place in the building due to a chance conversation with Nexus Director Dr Martin Stow in a coffee shop.
Since it joined Nexus, Vet-AI has dramatically expanded, with more than 100 employees and over 300,000 online customers. The partnership with Nexus has been instrumental in achieving this growth.
The company has gone from strength to strength in the last four years. It’s an excellent example of how Nexus can be an integral part of business development and innovation.
CELEBRATING OUR COMMUNITY
We’ve achieved a lot in 5 years and a huge amount of that is down to our members. Their openness to new ideas; willingness to collaborate, work together and innovate. Their commitment to keeping an open mind.
Thanks to them, we’ve created something bigger than all of us.
Meet some of our amazing community.
