Enterprise Nation, which has a 70,000 person membership, has announced that it plans now to launch a new Northern growth hub. This hub hopes to offer incubation, co-working, mentoring and networking from September.
They hope to model the new hub on their incubator in Barnsley. It’s also introducing a network of 150 advocates and partners which will include 12 regional champions.
Founder Emma Jones says that Enterprise Nation will collaborate with insurance specialist Simply Business to open more pop-ups on local high streets. They will have an initial five in Horsham, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham and Wandsworth, South-West London in August and September.
As Jones said, “It’s important to extend support for early-stage entrepreneurship across the UK.”
