What is an Enterprise Hub?
One Network...one voice!
The Enterprise Hub Network has grown organically - the first Hubs were established in 2001, the most recent began in 2005. However, the vision for the Network was always much more than the creation of 22 different locations. We knew true benefit could only be realised through the Hubs forging meaningful connections between each other, and our partners, acting as a Network which allows the organisation to offer world class services at low costs.
Enterprise Hub Network within the wider support community
The Enterprise Hub Network sits within SEEDA's business support function developed to enhance the global economic competitiveness of the region. SEEDA has centralised responsibility for overall network marketing and support, with the Directors taking responsibility for local Hub marketing, in line with the Enterprise Hub Network brand guidelines.
The Network works alongside SEEDA's other business support services. Each of these services plays a different role and caters to different audiences within the business sector across the South East.
