Startup Huddle Oldham

ABOUT STARTUP HUDDLE Oldham

Oldham is a large town in Greater Manchester, England, 6.9 miles (11.1 km) northeast of Manchester.

Oldham rose to prominence in the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture. It was a boom-town of the Industrial Revolution and among the first ever industrialised towns, rapidly becoming "one of the most important centres of cotton and textile industries in England". At its zenith, it was the most productive cotton spinning mill town in the world, producing more cotton than France and Germany combined.  Oldham's textile industry fell into decline in the mid-20th century; the town's last mill closed in 1998 but Oldham still has high tech engineering and manufacturing businesses.

The town is  physically regenerating its town centre and is also focused on promoting enterprise including; amongst young people, social enterprises and Start Up Huddles! Startup Huddle Oldham helps one entrepreneur at a time while strengthening the local ecosystem. Entrepreneurs present real-time challenges facing their startup and solicit input on potential solutions from other entrepreneurs, mentors, ecosystem builders and others in the local community. Each Startup Huddle chapter focuses on supporting local entrepreneurs while simultaneously providing connection to a global network.

Oldham has been identified as one of the UK’s top 10 most entrepreneurial towns in the Uk as noted in Start Up Magazine.  A close community that strives to support each other, Oldham is a safe and blossoming town.
