Regional EDGE 2026

Regional EDGE is returning for 2026, with applications now open!

Four regions will select five winners each. This year, GrowBiz is delivering the competition for Tayside, along with Elevator. 

GrowBiz Co-CEO Gordon Hector says:  "Regional EDGE is a massive opportunity for businesses across Tayside - the chance to win funding, mentoring, and a higher profile too. 

"GrowBiz is thrilled to be delivering Regional EDGE for Tayside this year. Our team of advisers are rooted in Tayside, and we are all self-employed or run our own businesses. So we are passionate about helping people fulfil their ambitions to start, run and grow an enterprise. 

"Businesses are the lifeblood of Scotland's communities and economy, particularly in rural areas. We're looking forward to seeing applications, and help support Tayside's entrepreneurs to go on to great things." 

The other regions are Aberdeen, Highlands and Islands and South of Scotland. If you’re a start-up business with growth ambitions, apply to your Regional EDGE before 2pm on 11th February for the chance to secure between £10k to £50k in business funding. 

Join the workshop on 20th January to find out more about the competition and get advice on everything from meeting the assessment criteria to crafting a great application.
