Enterprise in Place was a pilot of place-based enterprise support programmes for women and underrepresented groups. It was delivered in Dunoon, Glasgow and East Kilbride between November 2025 and March 2026. 

This was a collaboration between community hubs Glasgow Collective, EK Collective and POP Shop Dunoon and national partners Connected Hubs Scotland, The Melting Pot, Firstport and Elevator. The project was funded by Scottish Government’s Pathways Ecosystems fund. It engaged over 85 underrepresented entrepreneurs through tailored parallel programmes in each area.
