NNSTARTUP DAY was launched on line in 2022 as an annual day of celebrating businesses in Northamptonshire who have started a business. Supported also by those who support Start Up businesses, the day brings together people from across Northamptonshire to celebrate their journeys, recognise their commitment to being an entrepreneur and provides real stories from those walking the walk.
Starting a business isn’t easy and NNSTARTUP DAY is all about helping those looking to start a business or in their early days of running their own and sharing the stories of those who have started a business.
2024 was the biggest #NNSTARTUP DAY ever as we were joined by former Small Business Minister, Kevin Hollinrake, who joined us to open the day as well as a staggering 26 small business owners across the County all sharing their tips, knowledge, experience and journey so far.
We travelled to local businesses talking to people about their start up journey and celebrating entrepreneurship here in Northamptonshire!

2025’s NNSTARTUP DAY kicks off at 9.00 am on Wednesday 11th June and 2024’s annual celebration was watched by our biggest audience ever of just over 2,000 viewing on the day across our social media. This year, we aim to better that!
