We want to bring people together. 

It can be a very lonely process starting up alone without like-minded people to bounce off and ask for help which is why we wanted to create a place where anybody starting up can come and interact with fellow entrepreneurs in a friendly, creative environment.

This collaborative approach has been carefully cultivated to ensure member businesses prosper as a direct result of the various networking and coworking activities we run regularly, as well as through the advice and affordability they are also provided with.

We seek to make entrepreneurship a real choice for school leavers, graduates, the unemployed, those looking to pivot and anyone who wants to take their passion and turn it into a business.

Welsh ICE is a hub for startups, freelancers, remote workers, established businesses and everything in between where anyone passionate about enterprise can thrive under experienced mentors and access the resources that new businesses so desperately need.

Since 2012, we’ve created an incredible network of experts and supported over 1000 businesses, building a community that represents a truly diverse network of industries and expertise.

Members have often started their business at home and are fed up with the loneliness, lack of interaction and inspiration that the solitary entrepreneur inevitably faces. Welsh ICE offers a warm, vibrant, innovative, friendly and creative environment – our members collaborate, share resources and develop ideas that would have been impossible alone.
