GridAKL is more than just a place. It is a community of innovation.

GridAKL is Auckland’s leading innovation hub, supporting a thriving community of entrepreneurs, startups, and high‑growth tech businesses. Operated by Auckland Council, it provides flexible workspaces, capability‑building programmes, and a collaborative environment designed to help companies grow and connect.

Based in Wynyard Quarter, GridAKL operates across two dedicated branches. The Startup Hub at 101 Pakenham Street West offers shared workspaces and a supportive community for early‑stage ventures. Nearby, the Scale‑Up Hub at 12 Madden Street provides larger coworking areas, private offices, and event spaces for businesses ready to expand.

Together, these two hubs form a dynamic innovation precinct where ideas, talent, and opportunity come together in one of Auckland’s most vibrant tech communities.
