Business and IP Centre North East (BIPC): Local Provision
Our project aims to support the creation and growth of micro, small and medium sized enterprises, social enterprises and not-for profit organisations predominantly within Gateshead.
Business & IP Centre North East will continue to deliver free to access support to businesses, pre-starts and not-for-profit organisations via the 'BIPC Local' situated in Blaydon Library, Gateshead including one to one advice from BIPC's 40+ Experts in Residence, access to market intelligence & business information databases, Intellectual Property, plus enjoy a bespoke programme of practical events and topical workshops.
As part of this project, BIPC North East's Experts in Residence will be supporting eligible Gateshead SME's through the Citylife Business Support Programme, which includes providing a grant to SMEs enabling them to access an additional 12 hours of fully funded support from any one (or divided between two) of our Experts in Residence. The support would be delivered via a grant direct to the SMEs, enabling them to access Citylife Expert support.
