Market Insights
Officially we launched in 2022. But in reality, we’ve been working on this our whole lives.
Our mission is to build a more inclusive, equitable and participatory led London economy.
We built Local Champions Community Interest Company (LCCIC) driven by our belief in local champions; in working in partnership; in building income opportunity and scaling imagination; and in systems innovation.
We’re particularly passionate about empowering people and places to fulfil potential through enterprise, technology and sport.
How we work is what makes us different.
It begins with a problem or an idea. If the idea fits a need, we design a solution in partnership with leaders and community for environmental, social, economic and governance impact.
