If you want to turn your ideas into reality, how can you be sure they'll take off?

You might have a business idea, invention, initiative or hobby, but need support with the challenges you'll face when making it happen.

A dedicated team of business advisers, business support staff and entrepreneurs in residence can offer you specialist one-to-one advice and practical tips on running a business. Our workspace facilities, such as The Elevator, can offer you space to think and develop your idea.  Is there demand for your idea? Our market research tools can help you find out. Looking for advice on funding? Go to grants to find out what's available for Newcastle University students and graduates. Need some inspiration? Why not read our success stories.
