Sussex Innovation is a business incubation network for entrepreneurs, start-ups, scale-
ups, and corporate innovators. Its members are ambitious technology and knowledge-
based enterprises that solve problems in new ways. Since its foundation in 1996, 85%
of ideas supported by Sussex Innovation have developed into profitable, sustainable
businesses. Sussex Innovation helps businesses to realise their ambitions for rapid
growth by supporting them through the growing pains that all businesses experience.
On-site support provides members with strategic insight about how to grow and the
practical resources to manage that growth sustainably, helping businesses maintain
the momentum they had as a start-up.
Sussex Innovation is run on a commercial
basis, with all profits reinvested into
encouraging entrepreneurship. Support is
designed to help businesses grow quickly
and sustainably, with flexible resources
and practical advice that’s tailored to
match the needs of all sizes of business.
The organisation currently hosts
and supports more than 200 high growth
potential companies, spanning a range of
sectors from the forefront of engineering
and biomedical research, to new media,
design, and IT application development.
Unlike other incubators or serviced
office space, long-term relationships are
encouraged, and counsel grows to match
the growth and success of members. While
many incubators will help to turn start-
ups into sustainable businesses, Sussex
Innovation aims to help the best of those
businesses to achieve high growth.

corporate partners has been established
across the South East. Sussex Innovation

The organisation’s position as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the University
of Sussex, a world leading research
institution, offers unparalleled access
to a wide-ranging academic community.
