Promoting an Enterprise Culture

Creating a more enterprising culture is fundamental to the future of the regional economy. We need to applaud innovators and risk takers, celebrate their successes and help them avoid many of the potential pitfalls that stand in their way. That's where we come in: Connect Yorkshire helps young technology companies by linking them with the resources they need to succeed: investment, markets, management, partners, and support services. We are here to help businesses that need a boost to reach their 'escape velocity'.

Connect has been active in Yorkshire for nearly four years and has help over a hundred technology companies raise over £13M of investment. Every year numerous more technology companies attend Connect’s various programmes. The vast majority of these businesses are started by normal people who have seen a gap in the market or how to do something quicker, smarter or cheaper.

Starting a new technology business is not easy and its a long hard road, but the potential rewards are great - just ask James Dyson! Connect brings together like-minded people and together we all achieve more than we could ever alone. If you are thinking of starting a technology business or have a great idea but don't know how to progress it, come and talk to us. We are here to help.
