Introducing
We're all about
positive impact.
All of our work is focused on helping people, place and planet. From supporting businesses to start-up and grow, enabling job creation. Or helping ventures & enterprises deliver more positive environmental & social impact. To facilitating networking and collaboration, and leading on innovative projects that support under-represented & diverse groups.
Programmes
Which of our programmes can help you?
We run accelerators to help start-ups grow & scale, intensive programmes for established local businesses to gain more customers, and provide the advice & expertise entrepreneurs need to get their social and environmental ideas off the ground. All are free, and all are focused on helping your business to thrive & grow.
Our programmes in Cambridge and Peterborough are part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
