Start-Up Day 2026

Join us in the Mitchell Library for Start-Up Day 2026. It's a whole day packed with opportunities to help you turn your brilliant idea into a business. You can attend from start to finish or choose whichever sessions you'd like to attend - it's completely up to you!

We'll cover everything from business support and intellectual property workshops to live screenings from the British Library and networking opportunities to connect with like-minded people.

By taking part you'll have the chance to gain the knowledge and confidence to get started and come back to the Business & IP Centre Glasgow as your business ideas begin to take shape, and make the most out of our free support service.
