By connecting academics with business leaders and providing funding and business support, we’ve transformed the rate that world-leading research is translated into commercial opportunities, forming sustainable businesses and creating more and better jobs
Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Sunderland and Teesside universities are working together to make a step-change in delivering research to the marketplace. We’re developing our academics’ entrepreneurial skills and funding proof of concept projects. We also match experienced business leaders with academic founders to ensure our spin-outs have the best chance of success with a strong management team from the outset.
Northern Accelerator was established with funding from Research England and the European Regional Development Fund, and is supported by local business and government.
North-East England’s universities have a strong track record in business and industry, turning research into commercial opportunities that create jobs and generate income for the region’s economy.
