ScaleUp360 Virtual Incubation and Accelerator Network Project

The Virtual Incubation and Accelerator Network (VIAN) project is  a three year European Funded programme led by Sheffield Hallam University, delivered in partnership with East Midlands Chamber of Commerce, Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and The Business Village @BarnsleyBIC. 

It delivers tailored support to entrepreneurs, from pre-start / early stage to investment ready businesses,  across the Sheffield City Region (Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Bassetlaw, Bolsover, Chesterfield, Derbyshire Dales and North East Derbyshire) who have the ambition to establish high growth businesses. 

Eligible candidates  will receive tailored support to accelerate their growth via workshops, mentoring and 1:1 support.

For more information on the programme, or to access support, please complete the expression of interest form and an advisor will be in touch. 

The VIAN project is receiving up to £2.8 of funding from the England European Regional Development Fund as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020. The Department for Communities and Local Government (and in London the intermediate body Greater London Authority) is the Managing Authority for European Regional Development Fund.

Established by the European Union, the European Regional Development Fund  helps local areas stimulate their economic development by investing in projects which will support innovation, businesses, create jobs and local community regenerations.
