Mid Sussex is a local government district in West Sussex. It includes the towns of East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill.

The Strategic Growth Programme for Burgess Hill is the most ambitious programme of change anywhere in the sub-region.

Our ambition is to transform the local economy, creating thousands of new high value jobs in technology-led industries, and making Burgess Hill one of the most attractive places in the region to live and to do business.

Digital Mid Sussex is a pioneering initiative to roll out world-class digital infrastructure across the region. 

We have set this up this hub specifically for people who own or run small businesses in West Sussex. Originally only for retail and hospitality businesses, the remit was expanded in 2022 to include any small independent business in the county.  

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