C4DI are delighted to see the news from DCMS of the announcement that Barclays have been successful in winning the tender for the Digital Growth Grant, to deliver a range of digital services across the UK.

The objectives of the programme are to :

• Deliver support services to the digital sector, particularly in transformative/emerging technologies.

• Grow regional support networks for tech startups and scaleups.

• Ensure founders and firms can access digital entrepreneurship and investment readiness training, with tailored advice to help develop their skills to start and grow a tech business.

• Clearly signpost startups and scaleups to existing initiatives in the private and the public sector across the UK that can help them access finance, talent and markets.

C4DI are very proud to have supported the Barclays bid and are very much looking forward to working with them on the programme, continuing our long and established partnership with the Eagle Labs network across our sites in Yorkshire.

Our work with Barclays started many years ago with their fantastic regional business team. Five years ago this developed into the partnership we have today where we work together to help grow business across Yorkshire. We could not be more excited about this new phase of the Eagle Labs development and look forward to the new opportunities this brings to grow our partnership.

Many congratulations to Barclays and the other supporting bid partners around the UK!
