​KnowVate Hub is excited to invite ecosystem builders, business support organisations and our community members to join us for the official launch of the KnowVate Online Community Resource Platform.

​​Join us on the 19th of April at DoubleTree By Hilton Glasgow Central

​​KnowVate Hub is building a community of ethnic minority entrepreneurs to encourage collaboration and networking. This is because as ethnic minority founders ourselves, we understand the pain points of building a business without existing networks and connections. Let’s all be that network for each other - Join the Community

​Over the past few months, we have been running events across Scotland to promote routes to entrepreneurship for those from diverse backgrounds. We have also been gathering interviews and resources to create an inclusive online community hub for those looking to start and grow a business in Scotland.

​This online Hub is designed to provide the resources and connections you need to thrive in today's competitive business landscape, including exclusive content and case studies from diverse business leaders, as well as signposting to trusted support to business and community organisations.

​This will be a chance to meet and hear from successful entrepreneurs in Scotland from the ethnic minority communities, Ecosystem Builders supporting people, and to network and meet other business owners and inspiring people from all walks of life.

​​Who is this for:

​​- Those curious about entrepreneurship as a career path

​​- Founders from minority ethnic communities looking for a supportive peer network

​​- Those interested in breaking down barriers to inclusion in the business community

​​What to expect:

​​- Inspiring Keynote address from Scottish Enterprise.

​​- A live demo and introduction to the KnowVate Online Community Platform

​​- Networking with like-minded individuals championing Diversity and Inclusion in the Scottish Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.

​​- Breakfast and lunch

​​​This initiative is supported by the Ecosystem Fund 2023/2024 from the Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise, in collaboration with Startup Grind and Black Professionals United Kingdom.
