Sussex Innovation is a business support organisation based at the University of Sussex. It provides flexible workspace, consultancy and commercial support for start-ups, scale-ups and more established businesses looking to grow, develop new products or explore new markets. Many of the businesses they support are innovation-led or working within knowledge-based sectors.

They offer a mix of practical support and strategic input, including help with business modelling, marketing, investment readiness and leadership development. Their services are designed to be flexible – supporting entrepreneurs through critical stages of growth, whether they’re just getting started or planning to scale. The team also has experience in supporting university spinouts and businesses involved in research and development.

While Sussex Innovation works across a wide range of sectors and business stages, the right support will depend on your goals and current setup. If you’re not sure where to start or whether this type of service is right for you, the Growth Hub team can help you explore your options and connect you to what’s most relevant.
