GLaM BIPC introduction!

We are very excited that our brand new BIPC centre is beginning to take shape, we want to share some images with you and provide more info on what this great service will provide for Kettering and the local community!

Libraries are not just full of books. They are full of ideas. As part of the British Library National Network the Business & IP Centre Northamptonshire is leading a revolution by inspiring a thriving community of new and existing business owners. It is free to join and open to everyone and it is transforming the way ideas grow into successful businesses. The Business & IP Centre Northamptonshire has been supporting businesses since 2015. In that time, over 1750 people have used its services and they have helped over 500 entrepreneurs start a business through a rich variety of webinars, workshops and one-to-one business and intellectual property advice sessions. The library service also provides entrepreneurs and SMEs across the UK with free access to databases, market research, journals, directories and reports worth thousands of pounds. 

We look forward to Kettering Library acting as a catalyst  for economic growth through helping businesses to start, run, innovate and grow. As part of the British Library Business & IP Centre National Network the Business & IP Centre Northamptonshire helps establish enterprises, create new jobs, increase turnover and boost our local economy. For every £1 invested in the BIPC Network, £6.95 is put back into the economy, which we believe represents a fantastic return on investment!

We look forward to opening the doors to this great resource next year! For further information;  : https://www.bipcnorthamptonshire.co.uk/
