Entry into the Catalyst Programme
 

• Candidate businesses must be prepared to commit to engagement with the Catalyst process, and be present at Southampton Science Park for workshops, seminars and peer group meetings for a period of 6 months. Participants need to commit a minimum of two days each week to fully benefit from this community-led programme.
• Entry to Catalyst is free and via a competitive process. Candidate businesses will be asked to complete an entry form describing their business proposition and may be invited to pitch their concept to a selection panel at an introductory day. Places will be allocated based on the strength of the business case put forward.
• The panel will select the businesses with the highest potential to generate significant growth.
• Applicants from overseas are responsible for obtaining all relevant documentation to work in the UK.
• We do not support living costs.

Exit from the Catalyst Programme

• At the end of the 5 month process, Catalyst businesses are expected to present to an expert panel.
• Businesses must vacate the Catalyst Centre but may remain in the Innovation Centre in other shared office accommodation, subject to agreement of financial terms.
