HELPING YOU TAKE THE FIRST STEPS ON YOUR BUSINESS JOURNEY

If you are interested in becoming self-employed, looking to develop a new idea into a business or just want to simply have a chat on what getting started might look like for you then reach out to us and we can help.

The Digital Business Pipeline is a programme of support being delivered by the team at the Digital Catapult NETV and being funded by the North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA).

We are helping to generate a pipeline of new digital businesses that we can actively support and help to link to wider support available as part of the NTCA Digital Growth and Innovation Programme.

HELP Getting Started

We have our Digital Catapult business support team along with digital mentors to help residents who are looking for a greater understanding of digital business creation.

The team offers guidance and support for the residents of Newcastle, North of Tyne and Northumberland to discuss ideas and help bring businesses to life.

FREE TO ATTEND EventS 

We have a number of events to engage residents of local communities and help to develop business ideas.

Events include peer to peer networking, idea generation, getting started workshops, knowledge sharing, expert talks, and drop-in sessions.


Connecting into Digital

We enable residents with business ideas and early-stage digital businesses to connect to the key support they need to help them flourish.

We will showcase processes for best practice, present financial support opportunities, facilitate peer to peer engagement and raise digital awareness in North of Tyne communities.

Support Toolkit 

A business support toolkit will be made available to help focus your thoughts and can be used when planning your early-stage business journey.

The toolkit offers practical advice and is regularly updated with information appropriate to creating a business within the North of Tyne region.
