At our 2023 Celebration Event, OxLEP Business brought together key figures from across Oxfordshire’s business community to celebrate two major support programmes, which concluded earlier in the spring, each of which have collectively made a significant impact on the county’s business landscape.

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)-supported programmes of eScalate – which has primarily worked with scale-up companies and social enterprise-focused organisations – and the Innovation Support for Business (ISfB) programme, which has helped drive innovation-led activity into Oxfordshire businesses, both reached a scheduled closedown following their respective deliveries via OxLEP Business, the business support arm of OxLEP.
