Networks
London First runs a range of networks providing opportunities to debate key issues, share best practice, showcase member expertise and network with policymakers and industry peers.
Security and Resilience Network
This network galvanises business, security and police services to work together closely, to increase London's resilience and improve safety from crime for businesses and their employees. Supported by the Metropolitan Police, City of London Police, British Transport Police and the Home Office, our multidisciplinary network brings together world experts in security, counter-terrorism, resilience, business continuity and policing.

This network supports the smaller business community, helping them to maximise commercial opportunities generated by the London 2012 Games. It has developed CompeteFor.com, an online brokerage service that gives businesses access to supply chain contracts generated by the London Games. www.londonbusinessnetwork.com

Property and Energy Network
Two key challenges for London are greening commercial and residential buildings to meet energy efficiency targets, and maximising London’s opportunity as a global centre for clean technology innovation and development. The Property and Energy Network promotes good practice in all aspects of managing the built environment and supports London’s development as a centre for innovative technologies that help tackle climate challenges.
