Babraham Research Campus and Equiem team up to elevate life science community experience

Babraham Research Campus and Global proptech leader Equiem have announced a partnership that will provide an enhanced experience for the Campus’s life science community in Cambridge. The collaboration will create one central communication hub that will add value to the service offering for Babraham Research Campus companies and enhance the overall experience of life on Campus.

Occupiers will have access to the Equiem One platform where they can contribute their own content, and share news and company updates to promote their activities across the Campus community. The Equiem One platform offers a perfect blend of operational capabilities with tenant engagement tools, all accessed through a user-friendly front end.

The primary goal of the Babraham Research Campus team was to establish a captivating online platform for seamless communication, information sharing, and the streamlining of operations by implementing Equiem's operational bolt-ons.

Samantha Jackson, Marketing and Business Development Manager at Babraham Research Campus specifically wanted to enhance direct communication with occupiers. The primary focus being to establish a central communication route. Additionally, the Campus sought to elevate its event management capabilities, streamline lab equipment rental, and optimise the booking process for meeting rooms and desks. By digitising helpdesk requests, the Campus aimed to improve its day-to-day operational experience.

Derek Jones, CEO, Babraham Research Campus said: “Our partnership with Equiem will enable us to provide an enhanced experience for our Campus community. We are excited to offer everyone on site access to a central communication hub that fosters innovation, knowledge sharing and collaboration, which is vital to the continued success of Babraham Research Campus."

The partnership will create "moments of serendipity" online to spark collaboration and knowledge sharing between occupiers. The Campus Connected platform will establish a digital life science community, providing an environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth.

Bronny Wilson, Regional Head of Europe, Equiem added “We're thrilled to partner with Babraham Research Campus and help deliver a world-class tenant experience for the life science community based there. The Equiem One platform, including our operational bolt-ons, will create an engaging hub for communication and information sharing that drives collaboration, innovation and growth. The Life Science sector has some obvious synergies with what we do and we’re looking forward to building on this new partnership and expanding our footprint in this space.”
