It was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic to be reviewed to ensure it properly met the changing needs of the business sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Enterprise Fellows receive financial support for their idea, one year\u2019s salary, as well as training, networking and mentorship from a wide range of Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and previous Enterprise Fellowship awardees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Fellowships, administered by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, include a development fund of up to \u00a310,000 to develop their businesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The renewed version of the Fellowships includes a potential extra \u00a310,000 of funding specifically geared towards international expansion. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Simon Best, chair of the Enterprise Fellowship scheme, added: \u201cWe are ready to empower a new generation of serial entrepreneurs with realistic ambitions for global, social, and commercial impact.
