The £500m Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund was established in 2017 with the ambition to transform the funding landscape across the North of England and help to create economic prosperity on par with London and the South East.

To date, NPIF has directly invested more than £227m, in deals that have attracted an additional £253m of investment from the private sector.

This is helping business owners that had previously been under-served by traditional lenders to expand, enter new markets and create thousands of new jobs.

The Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund is one of the partners for the upcoming virtual conference Invest North which will bring together business and policy leaders to set the agenda for what’s to come next for the North. Early bird tickets for the event are now live, click here to order.
