Entrepreneurial Hubs & Makers Spaces
UVU Accelerate understands the need for essential spaces that foster a collaborative environment for entrepreneurs. Infrastructure in the form of Hubs and Makers Spaces have been instrumental in nurturing startups and driving innovation.
Our innovation hubs are centres for learning, ideas, co-creation and community, that nurtures innovative ideas and market disruption, and supports creative ways of solving problems through offering on-the ground support across the entirety of the start-up lifecycle.
We develop Makers Spaces which are physical facilities fitted with machinery, technological tools and equipment to help communities and individuals co-create and explore ideas, create prototypes and test products, as well as develop technical skills and knowledge.

UVU Accelerate Success Stories
“Being part of the Women in Business programme has been a tremendous pleasure and opportunity. It transformed me into a think tank for my businesses, shaping and preparing them for the global market. I gained insights into design thinking for my brand, the importance of branding, conducting business surveys, and handling business finance and legal matters. This experience has not only enhanced my knowledge but also provided valuable networking opportunities with fellow women in business.”
