Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes

Scaleups in Buckinghamshire can find a suite of growth support to overcome growth barriers like leadership skills, access to new markets, investment readiness, grant funding and infrastructure. The Growth Programme supports businesses with growth aspirations through one to one support and masterclasses; while the MD and Peer Ngage programmes offer facilitated peer-to-peer learning designed to inspire business leaders and create fresh thinking. The LEP is also championing cooperation with universities and workspaces for incubation and collaboration. Through the Local Industrial Strategy, Buckinghamshire identifies areas where they can take a lead. Cluster ecosystems operating in the area include a technology cluster Westcott space, a med-tech and artificial intelligence cluster – the Stoke Mandeville ecosystem and a creative cluster centred on Pinewood Studios and the National Film and Television School.
