Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes
Scaleups in the North East can find the support and guidance they need through different programmes. The Scaleup North East programme matches scaleups and scalable businesses with a “Scale-Up Partner” whose role is to uncover their most challenging issues and provide bespoke support to help them overcome these. The Entrepreneurs’ Forum continues to deliver its Scale-up Leader’s Academy which brings together ambitious business owners from across the North East over six months to inspire, challenge, support and connect with each other in cohorts limited to 15 participants. Finally, through the North East Supply Chain programme scaleups can find support in accessing and identifying opportunities in new and existing markets.
