Oxford Innovation Space, which already runs 32 centres in the UK and Ireland, have come on board to run and operate the Wellsprings Innovation Centre. The team has over 35 years’ experience in supporting economic growth through a focus on advice, finance, and space. In that time, Oxford Innovation Space has helped in excess of 7,000 small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to become more sustainable businesses.
The Wellsprings Innovation Centre is expected to open in September 2024 and will focus on the three key themes that have made Oxford Innovation Space successful.
Providing flexible and affordable workspace – whether that’s an office, coworking or meeting and events space, where dynamic and innovative businesses come together and succeed.
Access to early-stage funding, through a network of business angels, which fills the gap between what an entrepreneur can raise themselves through family and friends and what a Venture Capital firm might fund.
