Services & Facilities

UWE Ventures Bristol provides an inclusive, flexible and cost effective package of space, facilities, support and resources, freeing you to work on building your business.

UWE Ventures Bristol provides two primary services to support early stage businesses. Virtual incubation enables entrepreneurs to access facilities without a need for physical residency within the incubation centre. Alternatively, residential incubation is for those who are ready to join an entrepreneurial community, work in an office environment and benefit from greater hands-on support.

Incubation options:

Residential incubation

This option incorporates a full-time dedicated space within UWE Ventures Bristol (available 24 hours a day) and access to our core support services. It is likely to appeal to you if you have made a decision to commit significant time to developing your business idea or existing early-stage enterprise.

Virtual incubation

A 'virtual' service (where full-time accommodation in UWE Ventures is not required) is available to support individuals who are in the early stages of developing their enterprises. This option is likely to appeal to you if you have not yet developed your business idea or are at an early stage of setting-up or trading. It may also appeal if you are unable to make a full-time commitment to your business (perhaps due to being in employment).

Despite not being resident at UWE Ventures, virtual incubatees can still take advantage of our core services including: business support; events and workshops; access to a dynamic business community.
