The programme has so far relocated 340 businesses to the UK, created over 100 jobs and raised over £1 billion of private investment for companies. The support is free and provides:

  • help to develop business plans
  • assistance with relocating to the UK
  • introductions to investors

  • mentoring from experienced entrepreneurs
  • continued help once located in the UK
