Incubators & accelerators

It is often much easier (and potentially cheaper) for a start-up or early stage high growth business
to establish itself in a place where there is not only a cluster of other companies with similar
technological and business issues, but also a range of advice and support.

Accelerators are a little different – business development programmes offering seed investment
and intensive coaching for a strictly limited period, usually with a highly competitive application
process. All the organisations listed below can provide help with finding and approaching
suitable investors, in some cases with a sector-specific focus.
