University and Council partnership delivers £3.3million for Durham
A recent report has concluded that a joint Durham University and Durham City Council project supporting business growth in County Durham has brought in over £3.3 million in value to its participants to date.
Launched in May 2018, the three part Durham Internships and Collaborative Enterprise (DICE) project aims to support start-ups, scale-ups and local SMEs through a subsidised internship programme, Durham City Incubator (DCI) and a programme of enterprise interventions for Durham University students.
Since its inauguration, 74% of SME beneficiaries have experienced growth and 67% have been able to develop new products or services as a result of project support through the up to date knowledge and high-level skills of one of our students or graduates.
