Kadans Community

The power of collaboration

Kadans Community

We take a pro-active approach to building our community, because we believe that the key to success lies in creating a network of people with shared goals and ambitions. Our specialised assets are not just unique in the spaces we design, it is the support and community in and around the building that truly makes it an environment in which scientific organisations can thrive.

Experience global reach with a local feel

Our properties are in close local proximity to world-leading research and talent. In collaboration with acclaimed organisations, we support and strengthen the local innovation ecosystem. We connect local science clusters in a valuable global network. This adds an extra dimension to our local clusters by providing opportunities to connect with others from our global network. By compiling our locations in one large network, clients get access to even more resources for talent, research and capital. Kadans’ Global Connectivity leverages the full power of our network of science clusters to support growth for our clients.

Events 

We aim to stimulate connections to share knowledge and resources in order to reach shared goals. We do so by actively organising opportunities for our clients to connect. Our business events provide cross-sector knowledge exchange. Our community events promote a fun and stimulating work environment. From local events to global initiatives, we get organisations talking to each other. 

Community Platform

The Kadans Community app is your first stop for insight into our network and everything it has to offer. Here, you can find other members of the Kadans Community, sign up for events and activities, stay up-to-date on news within your key sector or take advantage of various services our partners have to offer.

The world-leading design and personalised capabilities of our buildings are crucial to the success of our clients. But we provide much more than real estate. We also understand the importance of ongoing, human support that goes beyond completion, and extends to the operation and maintenance of every building, as well as the activation of its community. Each and every member of our team is dedicated to helping our clients to achieve their business goals. Local, on the ground teams take care of technical and facility management, so that our clients can focus on the things that matter. From small maintenance requests in leased spaces, to the complete design of laboratory fit-out. Kadans is your first point of contact for any support you may need. From introducing new clients into our global network, to matching scale-ups to funding providers to support their growth. We stay with our people all the way from start-up to grown-up, setting us even further apart from other investors and developers.
