In 2022, 330 Hackney businesses benefited from £2.5 million in Council investment. This enabled projects to help make businesses greener, more inclusive, and more resilient.

These initiatives reached 237,000 people, bringing in more than £2 million in further external investment to Hackney, and saw over £500,000 spent locally.

A further £500,000 investment saw businesses receive over 3,000 hours of targeted business development and training support. This helped local enterprises to start up, grow, or improve their resilience.
