TECHNOLOGY and knowledge-based businesses across the North-East are to benefit from a £5m investment fund to be launched by regional fund management firm NEL.
The money will replace the North-East Seed Capital Fund, which NEL has managed for the last five years.
About £3m has been committed by the European Regional Development Fund and Government Office North-East. Private fundraising for the remaining £2m is in progress and is expected to be completed by January.
Duncan Lowery, of NEL, said: "Whilst the high-growth nature of the technology sector means that many such firms will come forward to access this fund, we're not just looking for proposals from that area."
