UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCALEUPS AND THE PIPELINE HIGHLIGHTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONVERT THE PIPELINE

Looking more deeply at the relationship that exists between the scaling pipeline and the scaleup population in a local area the following pattern emerges.

The graph shows a strong positive relationship between the density of the scaling pipeline and that of scaleups – implying the need to focus on developing a healthy pipeline for scaleup level growth and reinforcing the requirement to focus initiatives on converting the high potential scaling pipelines to full scaleups. 

When looking at the opportunity that exists in the scaling pipeline we can see that from the 19 areas that increase their density by more than 1 scaleup per 100k population this increases to 31 areas when adding in the pipeline. Heightening the importance of supporting the pipeline to reach scaleup levels of growth if we are to level up across the UK.

The new analysis breaking down the growth rates of the pipeline and scaleups above further supports this by highlighting how businesses growing at different rates are contributing to their sectors and local areas.
