The Venture Lab by Challenges Group

The Ventures Lab by Challenges Group provides an inclusive, supportive path for aspiring or early-stage entrepreneurs to bring their purpose-led businesses to life.

Ventures taking part in this lab will benefit from our business support and services, funding, a workspace, and access to its business network and be part of an innovative, patient, venture-building model that offers bespoke support dependent on individual needs.

The Ventures Lab does not have rigid or fixed criteria. It wants to hear from and support all types of purpose-led individuals or businesses. Ideally, you'll have an idea, product or service that has the potential to make a difference in multiple locations, either in Scotland or globally.
