👉🏽 Champion and scale place-based entrepreneurship

“A groundbreaking initiative, the Inclusive Innovation Catalyst, has been launched by TIN Ventures to transform inclusive entrepreneurship across underserved communities and regions.

The project has been introduced in collaboration with The Open University, the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce-Black Business Collective (GBCC-BBC), and the Innovation Alliance for the West Midlands (IAWM).

The Catalyst is the output of a series of National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) ‘Catalyst Conversations’ (https://www.publicengagement.ac.uk/catalyst-led-conversations-engaged-futures-themes) which explored the role of Civic Universities as key partners in driving inclusive community innovation and enterprise. These conversations highlighted how universities, local organisations, and business networks can collectively overcome systemic barriers to growth for diverse founders.

Too many diverse founders in the UK continue to face systemic barriers to validating ideas, accessing capital, and scaling businesses. This gap stifles innovation, limits economic opportunity, and prevents communities from realising their full potential.

The Inclusive Innovation Catalyst is designed to overcome these barriers, building investible and net positive businesses with overlooked talent.”

One of the most exhilarating parts of being an entrepreneur is bringing your idea to life, and so I couldn't be more excited to share with you all that the BEEP (Business Export Exchange Programme) immersive accelerator is now *LIVE* and accepting applications 💪🏾.

Throughout my career I've come to learn how entrepreneurship can hold the key to raising aspiration, and tackling inequity - and exporting your product or service across the globe is the motivation at the heart of the best entrepreneurs. That's why through TIN Ventures I've teamed up with The Open University and Barclays Eagle Labs to support entrepreneurs leading their established SME business on their international expansion journey, with a specialist programme dedicated to the art of successful exporting 🌍.

With our connections across the world, the BEEP accelerator gives you access to 👇🏾

✅ *The Global Export Academy* - where you can grow your internal capacity while achieving a globally recognised MBA certification via the Open University’s triple-accredited business school - learning the specialist skills required to successfully take your business abroad.

✅ *A Global Ambassadors Club* - where our partners will deliver insightful events focused on your sector, networking opportunities and roundtables covering financial, operational and investment themes.

✅ *A Global Export Hub* - giving you direct access to a network of coworking spaces providing wraparound support and mentor advice on solving your marketing, talent, or legal issues.

With partners already in place in the US, Europe, and Jamaica, we're raring to go to work with you to take your local business global 🚀
