Our people
We are governed by a strategic advisory board, a project steering group and a strategic delivery board. We also have panels to review applications for pre-incorporation funds and executives into business. Northern Accelerator is delivered by a core project team based at Durham University, supported by an operational delivery group with representatives from each partner institution.
