Community Benefits
We care about making a real difference in our communities while at the same time solving major economic challenges.
BACKING THE YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS OF TOMORROW WITH YOUNG ENTERPRISE
We’re proud to support Young Enterprise, both financially and through hands- on mentorship, helping nurture the entrepreneurial minds of tomorrow. Young Enterprise empowers young people from all backgrounds with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to reach their full potential through enterprise development and education.
We mentor student teams in Scottish high schools as they launch companies, sharing practical expertise in business planning, product and service development, team building, funding, sales, marketing, and operations.
It’s been a privilege to guide passionate young entrepreneurs as they bring their ideas to life and compete in regional and national competitions.
MENTORING OUR FUTURE INNOVATORS THROUGH UNIVERSITY MENTORSHIP
We also provide mentorship to university programmes, such as the University of Glasgow MSc FinTech, and support a range of student-focused entrepreneurship initiatives, including the Your Entrepreneurs Scheme (University of Nottingham), Nucleate Baltics, and Innovation Forum’s IMAGINE programme.
Our mentors work with student-led pre-spinout projects across diverse fields—AI and fintech, digital health, wearables, FemTech, and data-driven solutions for upskilling and reskilling. We help future founders navigate the early stages of commercialising innovation by offering practical, real-world insights into market dynamics, shaping viable business plans, and guiding future funding strategies.
The innovation and ambition we see from these students is genuinely inspiring. It’s a privilege to help them take confident first steps on what is often a long but rewarding entrepreneurial journey.
