Northern Accelerator is an innovative collaboration between Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Sunderland, Teesside and York Universities. It has transformed research commercialisation in the North East, helping address regional imbalance and strengthening the region’s knowledge economy. We support academics and business leaders to create promising spin-out businesses from their world-leading academic research. These businesses create high quality jobs and raise significant investment in the North East and North Yorkshire. Northern Accelerator is funded by Research England’s Connecting Capability Fund and the InTUNE partnership which is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund with the North of Tyne Combined Authority and Durham County Council.
