Levelling Upstarts is a new innovative programme launched by Virgin Money. The programme gives SMEs the opportunity to partner directly with MBA and Master's students from leading universities through digital workshops to help them solve specific business challenges.
Virgin Money aims to help SMEs with overcoming the challenges they face. Every business, big or small, has its own unique obstacles, whether that’s building brand awareness, honing a competitive advantage or selling into new markets.
SMEs do not need to be customers of Virgin Money to benefit from Levelling Upstarts, around 40 businesses will be selected to take part in the initial round of workshops.
The universities taking part are as follows:
- The University of Leeds in March
- Sheffield Hallam University in April
- Aston University in March and June
Applications for the programme are now open and will run until the end of February.
Businesses that wish to express an interest can email levellingupstarts@virginmoneyukplc.com for further information on how to apply.
