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.
The Craigmillar Business Incubator Project
Based in the Castlebrae Business Centre, the Craigmillar Business Incubator Project offers an informal walk-in support service for all local residents and businesses. The project provides opportunities for residents wishing to realise their entrepreneurial ambitions, and encourages self-employment as a realistic option. Support, advice, upskilling and encouragement are all available through the project.
The North Edinburgh Business Incubator
The North Edinburgh Business Incubator (NEBI) encourages entrepreneurial activity and business start-ups within the North Edinburgh Social Inclusion Partnership area.

The Edinburgh Ethnic Enterprise Initiative
The Edinburgh Chamber manages the Edinburgh Ethnic Enterprise Initiative, which 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.
