Introducing Here East, one of London’s biggest developments: over a million square feet of hyper-connected commercial space.

The robots are taking over – and our robot was designed and hand built in East London by self-confessed maker and tinkerer John Nolan. Believe it or not, everything is 100% real: no CGI, just pure talent and craft. Filmed on location at Here East, it took us eight weeks to have a fully working (and articulate) robot.

#MakerPaper

Earlier this year, Here East commissioned Deloitte to produce the first report on the impact of making on the UK economy. Now, we can reveal that the Making Revolution is even more powerful than we imagined, generating up to £18bn and up to 298,000 jobs for the UK economy. Through case studies with companies like Knyttan, Sugru, and MakieLab, and thorough research, the paper also reveals that UK makers are estimated to be over 50% more productive than the average UK worker. But the findings also warn that lack of access to skills, finance and infrastructure might hinder businesses and products from scaling.
