The Northern Regional Angel Investment Accelerator (RAIA) programme has launched as one of three pilot programmes, funded by Innovate UK.
Led by the North East Business and Innovation Centre (BIC), the Northern Regional Angel Investment Accelerator is delivered by the Innovation SuperNetwork and North Invest in partnership with the UK Business Angels Association.
The £1m from Innovate UK is to encourage Business Angels in the region to bring investment and expertise to pioneering innovative small and medium companies across the North East.
