Why Batley Entrepreneurship Club?

BEC is a grassroots movement aimed at driving economic, creative and cultural revival in a town long written off.

Supporting Batley’s builders and backers:

• Connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, creators and investors
• Create bold projects, ventures and collaborations
• Commercialise ideas that solve real problems

Whether you’re a Builder (starting your first business, scaling an existing one, building a brand, making a career change) or a Backer (supporting the next generation with mentorship, guidance and/or investment), BEC is where people belong, collaborate and grow.

• From community to capital.
• From storytelling to startups.
• From forgotten to forward-focused.

BEC is laying the blueprint for other small towns and cities to do the same - collectively revitalising the UK from the bottom up in preparation for the disruptive AI age.

Recently backed and funded by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA).
