Who we are
The Sussex Innovation Centre is a stimulating location for entrepreneurs, start-ups and innovative growing companies, offering strategic advice, a willing business support team and, for those who need it, flexible, professional office space. Our goal is to help you grow quickly and sustainably during the vital early years of operation.
We are a membership organisation, where start-ups and entrepreneurs pay a subsidised monthly fee to access our services and networks. We also provide affordable, serviced office space for those that need a base.
What we do
The Centre provides a flexible, supportive growth environment which seeks primarily to build the business confidence and ambition of its members. To achieve this we provide experienced business support, excellent facilities and a thriving and collaborative business environment.
Who we do it for
All Sussex Innovation Centre members have one thing in common; they have a new idea that could lead to high growth. People define high growth in many ways, but for us it means that you will have the ambition to grow your business year on year, accelerating sustainably to turn over millions, rather than thousands, in the first few years. As a growth engine for Sussex, we want to help you to scale that growth sustainably and efficiently, so that our region and its talent thrive.
Our members join us from a wide range of different industries and environments - some of the most common types include:
- Tech or digital start-ups
- Start-ups with a disruptive idea
- Ambitious entrepreneurs from any industry
- Businesses looking to develop a product
- Businesses who want to scale up based on an innovation
- Employed people who have a new idea
- Inventors and innovators seeking funding
- Academic spin-outs
