EMIN's mission is to increase the volume, value and survival rates of new start businesses in the East Midlands.

EMIN can help you lay the foundations for a business that will not only survive but flourish. Through EMIN's services and expertise you can access the tools and knowledge you need to ensure your business grows from strength to strength.

Primarily working with our experienced team of hands on business support professionals, but also by working closely with other business support organisations such as InvoRed, Connect Midlands and emda, EMIN provides the gateway to a comprehensive network of business support and potential investment opportunities.

In the past year EMIN has supported over 3,144 entrepreneurs and secured over £22.1 million in investment capital for businesses.

If you want to maximise your chances of success you must be part of the East Midlands Incubation Network.

"With regular training sessions in sales, marketing and accounting to mention just a few, we are always up to date with new ideas and, of equal importance, have access to potential clients through the EMIN network, which is invaluable." Ben Broadhurst, Director, ninefortynine (Derby).

The survival rate for new start businesses who develop in an incubator setting is typically 80-90%, compared with the general business survival rate of 60%.

Be it virtual or physical incubation - the support, services and knowledge your business receives will equip you with the means to grow and develop.

The EMIN network incorporates business space and incubator units throughout the region. These units provide office and/or lab space at a discounted rate, with on site business support available from highly experienced professional staff.
