The brief

As such, CBMDC and LCC are inviting submissions from Service Providers to deliver an accelerator programme with a digital technology sector focus to a fifth cohort in Bradford and Leeds.

The Northern MAX Accelerator, funded by CBMDC and LCC (through the UK Shared prosperity fund, as part of the Leeds Hyper-Local Programme allocation) will deliver a programme of activity to enhance the competitiveness of small and medium sized enterprises until June 2024.

The Northern MAX Accelerator will be aligned to the AD:VENTURE programme.
