New free business accelerator hubs in 2016

In the next quarter, Royal Bank of Scotland, NatWest and Ulster will be launching three new free business accelerators in Manchester, Edinburgh and Belfast. Together with the existing portfolio of hatcheries across the country, the new Entrepreneurial Spark hubs will support hundreds of start-up businesses.

Additional hatcheries will open later during 2016, including in Cardiff, Newcastle and Milton Keynes.
