Welcome to FUSION

Fusion's role is to stimulate interest in innovation and entrepreneurship in the Highlands and Islands.  We do this by providing a range of events and services that are aimed at connecting entrepreneurs with other individuals and organisations that may be able to help them, and helping them to form strong networks for sharing experience and know-how and stimulating new ideas for business.

All our events and services are available to both members and non-members, and for most of them there is no charge.

If you are serious about your ambitions for your business and recognise that innovation and entrepreneurship are essential to business growth and success, Fusion is for you. 

Whether you already consider yourself to be innovative and entrepreneurial, or whether you simply aspire to be so, you will find Fusion's activities and members helpful, inspiring, practical and down-to-earth.

More than anything, entrepreneurs tell us that they need to be able to discuss ideas, experiences and challenges with others in the same position, allowing them to spark off each other and generate fresh new approaches and solutions. At Fusion we actively help to facilitate this creative interaction.

Fusion's uniquely proactive, dynamic approach can also help you in a variety of other ways:

* We constantly look out for opportunities for your business and actively seek to put organisations in touch with each other for their mutual benefit.

* We can link you with other business people and researchers to explore needs and develop ideas in a supportive way.

* We can point you towards sources of funding for your research and development.

* You can benefit from our location- and interest-specific sub-groups, which focus on the priorities affecting members in particular geographical areas or business sectors

* Our highly practical events focus on the real issues essential for successful entrepreneurship.

* You can benefit from our networking opportunities. As an entrepreneur, you need to be able to meet your peers, share experiences, gain ideas and insights, make new contacts and create new opportunities. We put on a range of events, all with a strong networking focus.

* Our regular e-newsletter, "ASPIRE", will give you a handy overview of a range of events and news related to innovation and entrepreneurship. Recipients tell us that ASPIRE is an exceptionally useful source of information.

Whether your organisation is large or small, a new start or well established, local or national, connecting with other entrepreneurs through Fusion can make a real difference to your business.
