Edinburgh's economy is thriving but there are communities in the city with higher than average levels of unemployment, and where school leavers face an uncertain future.
We believe the business community has a role to play in improving opportunities for these communities, and participate in several development initiatives.
- North Edinburgh Business Incubator
- The North Edinburgh Business Incubator (NEBI) offers free support, guidance and training to those thinking of starting their own business in north Edinburgh.
- Craigmillar Opportunities Trust: CRE8TE
- CRE8TE is a one stop advice centre for Craigmillar businesses. CRE8TE's experienced business counsellors advise on expansion plans, re-location, applications for soft loans, and grants for employment purposes.
- West Edinburgh Business Incubator
- The West Edinburgh Business Incubator (WEBI) offers free support, guidance and training to those thinking of starting their own business in west Edinburgh.
- The Edinburgh Ethnic Enterprise Initiative
- The Edinburgh Ethnic Enterprise Initiative helps bridge the gap for an inclusive business community by helping ethnic businesses get the advice, support, guidance and training that best suits their needs.
