About BIPC Sussex

The Business & IP Centre (BIPC) Sussex with its Regional Centre BIPC Brighton & Hove at Jubilee Library and its BIPC Locals at Crawley Library and Worthing Library, Eastbourne Library and Hastings Library, supports entrepreneurs, inventors, and small businesses across Sussex, from that first spark of inspiration to successfully launching and developing a business. 

 Where are we?
BIPC Sussex is on the 1st floor of Jubilee library, Brighton, Monday to Thursday 10am to 5pm.

What are our services?
Head to our eventbrite page to book with business and intellectual property information specialist, an insutry expert, a workshop/ webinar/ networking event or watch an on demand webinar. Email our team to arrange a time to be shown how to use our business databases, which include building a business, grants, company information and market research. You can also borrow business library books and work in the relaxed BIPC workspace, either developing your business or day-to-day work.

What is BIPC Membership?

Working in the same way our library service's popular Libraries Extra does, BIPC membership allows BIPC customers to work in the main BIPC workspace even when the centre is unstaffed, any day that Jubilee library is open - including evenings and weekends.
If you're a BIPC customer, you can join at one of our networking events, a drop-in joining session or email us BIPC@brighton-hove.gov.uk
