The ten lucky start-ups, who must have launched their business no earlier than 1st January 2021, will be able to engage with the B4 community at live and virtual events as well as promote their news through the B4 website. With a wide range of experience and expertise in the B4 community and leading local organisations such as Blenheim Palace, Unipart, Oxford Bus Company, Oxfordshire LEP, Owen Mumford and many more, the ten start-ups will be able to benefit from a huge amount of opportunities and experience to give their businesses a much-needed boost as they start out in a very challenging economy.
Oxford Innovation’s Managing Director, Jo Stevens, commented. “We are proud to be sponsoring this initiative to support local start-ups. At Oxford Innovation we pride ourselves on providing the environment and support for new companies to establish themselves and grow… the B4 Academy is a fantastic complement to what we do every day at OI. We can’t wait to see who the start-ups are.”
