Sparkhouse launches digitisation scheme to boost Lincoln start-ups

Sparkhouse has launched the Digital Accelerator Scheme, a new programme offering grants and support to help start-up businesses in Lincoln digitise rapidly.

Aimed at new and early-stage businesses and delivered through the University of Lincoln, the Digital Accelerator Scheme will offer grants of up to £5,000, as well as one-to-one business support, and a Digital Growth Plan.

Digitisation covers a broad range of ways to transform and improve a business through the use of technology, such as employing a digital consultant, facilitating flexible working, or purchasing/developing a piece of software to streamline processes.

To qualify for the Digital Accelerator Scheme, businesses must be based within the city of Lincoln, actively trading (but for less than 24 months), and operating in the retail, hospitality/tourism or digital business sectors.
