Notts accelerator programme opens for digital, tech companies

Nottingham Business School (NBS) has opened an accelerator programme to help digital and tech firms achieve rapid growth.

Now in its second year, the Big House Accelerator Programme is open to talented and passionate founders and entrepreneurs from the digital and technology sectors in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire who want to fast-track their ideas and businesses.

The programme offers bespoke learning, regular mentoring and support worth over £10,000, including access to deep-dive diagnostics, focused workshops, academic research and expertise, peer learning and meaningful networking.

All interested businesses are invited to attend a virtual introductory workshop next week. They will then participate in a selection process to allow for the strongest group of contenders to go through the programme together.

Successful applicants will be guided through the Accelerator by experts from NBS and a carefully selected group of emerging and experienced digital CEOs.

“We have seen the participants from 2019 gain clarity in their strategies, grow in confidence and take great strides in growing their businesses,” said Dr Lynn Oxborrow, Associate Professor in Small Business and Supply Chain Management at NBS.

“Now more than ever it’s important for businesses to be able to access the right support and this programme is designed to challenge participants, leaving them in optimum shape to achieve their plans for growth.”
