Business Hot House programme
Grant funding and business support from University of Chichester

The Business Hot House programme is offering to support more than 1,000 companies – large and small – and 500 start-up entrepreneurs to improve productivity and innovation.

 

The programme is supported by the European Regional Development Fund to develop businesses in the Coast to Capital Local Economic Partnership area. Business Hot House manager, Gareth Sear, from the University of Chichester, explains that the programme will help to create a strong economic ecosystem in the LEP region through business partnerships, enterprise education, and support for start-ups.

 

Jonathan Sharrock, Chief Executive of the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership, added: "Our economic plan has recognised developing business support as a key strategic priority and this scheme will help local businesses and the regional economy to flourish.The business expertise and facilities available at the university – including our new £35m Tech Park – makes us the ideal authority to roll out the Business Hot House project to more enterprises which will only strengthen economic and social cohesion across the south of England."

 

Funding for the Hot House programme comes from a £5.5m grant from European Regional Development Fund, which will be match-funded by SMEs in the Coast to Capital LEP.

 

The project will be delivered by the University of Chichester Business School alongside Sussex Innovation Centre, Eastbourne and District Enterprise Agency, Brighton and Hove City Council, WSX Enterprise, Princes Trust, and YTKO Ltd.
