Some 24 businesses – out of 81 that applied – have won support from Loughborough University’s business incubator LUinc.
The firms make up the autumn cohort of companies accepted by the centre which has been helping university graduates and researchers with new businesses since 2011.
Last year the incubator expanded to support local entrepreneurs from outside the university’s ecosystem – thanks to support from the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP) and Charnwood Borough Council. Some 15 of the businesses accepted this year do not have university links and the remaining nine are graduate start-ups and research spinouts.
