Leeds Beckett University is offering a free programme of intensive support for ambitious businesses based in the Leeds City Region, which will include mentoring support from university academics and industry experts.

Accelerate is a six-month structured programme. It offers flexible one-to-one support for you and your business – and keeps you on track to help achieve your goals.

The aim of the programme is to give you the core building blocks to understand how to grow and develop your business. We offer practical sessions focused on improving knowledge and efficiencies around finance, marketing, operations and your strategic approach.

Funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Accelerate at Leeds Beckett University is part of the AD:VENTURE programme. AD:VENTURE brings together universities from across the Leeds City region with local Councils, Chambers and with private sector partners – http://ad-venture.org.uk/.

  • One-to-one support
  • Advice on grants and funding
  • A chance to meet and network with other young businesses

 

The Accelerate programme is delivered over 5 weeks, with a hybrid format of in-person full-day sessions and some online sessions.
