EDIdeas
Are economic and/or enterprise development part of your key responsibilities? If they are, you probably have hundreds of new ideas for projects presented to you every year, but don't enough time or resources to explore them. How can you avoid missing out on the solution that could transform your locality?
We can help you to discover what will work for you.

Help communities to help themselves by implementing an Enterprise Facilitation project.
The first Enterprise Facilitation project in Europe was in Rossendale, Lancashire. PEER (People Encouraging Enterprise in Rossendale). After 6 years of operation we've helped some 350 local clients to explore their ideas, start or expand businesses.
Make it easy for enterprising people in your community to explore their business ideas.
Iain Scott and his team have a tried and tested product. It combines high profile marketing, high quality facilitation and responsive guidance. Anyone coming forward to pitch an idea will profit from the experience.
Create a new form of employment market.
Slivers of Time is an online marketplace that matches individuals who need to sell their “spare hours” around with organisations that need access to a pool of top-up workers they can turn on and off for a few hours as needed.
