New Entrant Case Studies [10]

A key strategy of the NEWBIE project is learning from innovative new entrants across Europe. The Newbie Academy page [11] is aggregating some of the most innovative new entrant business models from the nine partner countries. Since we have been travelling around the UK, meeting innovative new entrants through case studies and new entrant videos which you can view here [12].
