Introducing the Broxtowe Accelerator

Broxtowe Accelerator is a brand new business support project designed to help businesses at all stages of development across Broxtowe to start, sustain, grow and innovate. The project will also help businesses in the area focus on sustainability and innovation. Supplementary support will also be provided to start-up businesses across the Broxtowe area. 

The project which runs until 31 March 2025 is led by the East Midlands Chamber. The project is funded by the Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

What support can I access?
