The Novation Enterprise Platform Programme (NEPP)

Since 2001 over 100 entrepreneurs have participated on the programme some becoming household names, such as Digiweb and Smarthomes, or major players in their industries, such as Armac Systems & Redmere. Particpant businesses had a combined annual turnover exceeding €68 million in 2010 and raised over $53 million in venture capital funds.
