Firstport is hosting an online Office Hours session for individuals and organisations interested in applying to its Start It programme.
Taking place on Tuesday 22 September 2026, from 10:30am–11:30am via Microsoft Teams, the session is an opportunity to learn more about the application process and receive practical guidance before submitting an application.
Led by Christine Fairbairn, Relationship Manager at Firstport, the session will cover:
- Eligibility requirements
- Application criteria
- Support available to applicants
- What to expect during the assessment process
There will also be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions about their own project or proposal and get advice to help strengthen their application.
The session is particularly suited to anyone considering applying to the Start It programme who would like a clearer understanding of the process and what is expected.
