Tech leaders descended on Doncaster yesterday (Thursday 17th July) for the groundbreaking of Gateway One, the £32m digital tech hub set to transform the city’s AI ecosystem.
Due for completion in January 2027, Gateway One spans 52,000 sq ft and will bring together AI companies, innovative local business, and attract global entrepreneurs providing them with the tools to scale in Doncaster.
Attending the ceremony was global AI company Automated Analytics, based in Doncaster, anchor tenants of Gateway One, who announced their plans to create an AI Incubator providing support to early-stage ventures.
The groundbreaking of Gateway One marks the start of Doncaster’s ambition to become an AI Growth Zone, with the digital tech hub set to unlock inward investment, create jobs and enable delivery of aspirations within the Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan.
Mayor of Doncaster, Ros Jones, said: “There is significant momentum and interest behind Doncaster’s fast growing AI industry, with Gateway One providing a new home for early-stage companies to locate and scale.
“The fact that our Gateway One development is attracting interest from global companies is a testament to the success of current Doncaster companies succeeding here such as Automated Analytics, who are shining a spotlight on the City’s unique ecosystem engineered to drive growth and deliver opportunities for our residents and businesses.”
