New initiative to boost growth and innovation for Winchester district businesses
Entrepreneurs, early-stage startups, and small- to medium-sized businesses across the Winchester district are being encouraged to get involved in a new initiative to boost their growth and inspire innovation.
The Business Growth Factory, delivered by IncuHive in partnership with Winchester City Council, will provide businesses with crucial skills, such as the ability to identify target markets, effectively manage finances and make successful investment pitches.
The programme itself features a mix of tailored support, expert-led mentoring and hands-on workshops to help participants make the most of the support on offer and make sure they have the tools and insights needed to thrive in competitive marketplaces.
The programme is provided completely free of charge thanks to funding from the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Winchester City Council’s Cabinet Member for Business and Culture, Councillor Lucille Thompson, said:
“Local entrepreneurship is a vital part of our district’s vibrant local economy and it’s hugely important that our start-ups and small businesses have the support they need.
"I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to partner with IncuHive on this fantastic initiative to empower our local business community by equipping them with important skills for growth”.
The Business Growth Factory is open to new entrepreneurs, early-stage startups and small businesses in the Winchester district.
