COMPLETED PROGRAMMES
Over the years we have run a variety of programmes to help entrepreneurs and enterprises start and scale.
We are excited to grow our offering and make a difference to even more enterprises.
Feeding The City: Start Up
Can you imagine a world where city life and sustainable food go hand in hand?
In our rapidly urbanising nation, from production to processing and distribution to disposal, our cities are littered with examples of how not to do it.
We support people with big ideas to make a change, and to find solutions to these problems.

This free peer-to-peer programme supports businesses in the food hospitality sector affected by Covid-19. Delivered in partnership with the Greater London Authority and the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Step Forward
Do you have an early-stage business idea you would like to develop, test and launch?
This structured online programme offers all the benefits of autonomous learning, alongside extra guidance to keep you on track. By the end you will have a developed idea with a plan in place to test it.
