• Early-stage incubators rooted in local communities

• Scotland's first social enterprise accelerator, and the only social enterprise accelerator that works with private investors

• Seed investment programmes

• Support for companies to measure and articulate their impact journey.

The group currently supports the development of over 1100 enterprise ideas each year.
