Businesses across the Leeds City Region could realise their global ambitions for growth through BUILD, a new support programme launched today.

BUILD is a 12-week programme for aspiring entrepreneurs and early stage founders in the Leeds City Region who are creating innovative businesses that have the potential and ambition to go global.

Through BUILD, businesses will get the tools, approach and connections they need to get-to-market, secure their first customers, generate revenue, attract investment and scale.

The team behind BUILD is on the lookout for a diverse group of founders with business ideas that mix profit and purpose.

The ideal founder will have the potential and ambition to go global, whilst positively impacting the lives of millions of people by addressing pressing challenges such as #climatechange, #health #wellbeing #education #inequality #cleanenergy #cleanair #cleanocean #plasticwaste #sustainableliving #foodwaste #economicgrowth #financialinclusion #transport #mobility

BUILD is created and delivered by successful Leeds City Region entrepreneurs such as @TheDataShed @panintelligence @TopScreenMedia @rradar_official @CrispThinking. It also involves the Leeds City Region MIT-REAP initiative which includes Leeds Academic Health Partnership.
