Applications have opened for the third cohort of GM Business Growth Hub’s ASCEND Scale Up programme – and it really is a fantastic opportunity for businesses of all sizes to move to the next level.
Once again, we’ll be looking for 25 businesses – a mix of traditional and tech – across all 10 Greater Manchester boroughs to take part in the programme, which will be held alongside our delivery partners KPMG and RBC Brewin Dolphin. They can apply here.
Those on the programme will get access to workshops, talks and discussions with successful founders spanning a broad spectrum of topics, including strategy governance, people and culture, innovation, finance and longer-term exit planning.
