Inner City 100
The Inner City 100 is research programme at nef. From 2000-2004 this included an annual index which located and celebrated the 100 fastest-growing inner city enterprises in the UK.
Led by nef, the lead sponsors of the index were The Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest. Partners in the initiative included the Financial Times, the Bank of England and the London Business School.
The Inner City 100 awards supported the winners' growth through a structured series of networking events, awards and media exposure. Acting as a research and publishing mechanism, the Index enabled winners' success stories, as well as the opportunities for the UK's inner cities, to be captured, analysed and shared. The results were used to influence government business support and urban regeneration policies, and to create practical actions which support inner city enterprise, investment and renewal.
