Innovate York: supporting businesses and entrepreneurs to grow and innovate

Innovate York supported product and process development, helping businesses and entrepreneurs in York unlock growth opportunities.

We offered hands-on workshops, women’s peer-to-peer networking, and specialist events designed to empower and connect York’s business community.

Delivered by the University of York and funded by City of York Council through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, this initiative served as a gateway to innovation, collaboration, and sustainable business success.

Innovate York has now ended, please contact us for more information on how we can support your business.
