A practical innovation and enterprise hub for Eastleigh.

Raeburn Ventures is developing a proposal for a place-based hub that brings founder support, startup incubation, partnerships, skills, workspace and measurable economic impact into one local programme.

The proposition

A founder and SME growth environment rather than a conventional coworking space.

Incubation and founder support
Affordable or subsidised workspace
Mentoring and specialist clinics
Regular founder and business events

Public value

The model is intended to align commercial sustainability with economic-development outcomes.

Business creation and survival
Jobs and higher-value employment
Town-centre activity
Local procurement and business growth

Partnership model

The concept is designed to be delivered with partners rather than funded permanently by one organisation.

Local-government and regeneration support
Banking and corporate sponsorship
University and college links
Technology and professional-services partners

Funding model

The long-term aim is a blended model that reduces reliance on public subsidy over time.

Partner sponsorship
Funded cohorts
Paid workspace and move-on offices
Events and commercial programmes

Status: proposal in development.

No council, bank, university or other third party should be understood to have endorsed, funded or partnered with the Eastleigh Innovation Hub unless and until that relationship is formally announced.
