Multidmedia Limited announces acquisition of GrowthCanvas™ by Oxford Innovation Advice

Multidmedia Limited is proud to announce the acquisition of its AI-powered business support platform, GrowthCanvas™, by Oxford Innovation Advice, the UK’s leading provider of business support to ambitious micro and SME businesses.

15th May 2025 - Launched just 18 months ago, GrowthCanvas™ was developed by Multidmedia Limited to address a critical market gap: enabling business support organisations and local authorities to provide real-time, data-driven insights to SMEs through intelligent automation. Since its launch, the platform has been rolled out by multiple Growth Hubs and local authorities across the UK, including full implementation across the entire West Midlands Combined Authority region, supporting business advisers in delivering impactful, personalised growth recommendations in a fraction of the time.

The successful acquisition by Oxford Innovation Advice marks a major milestone for Multidmedia Limited and reflects the company's ability to rapidly turn innovation into commercially viable, high-impact products.

“I’m incredibly proud of what’s been achieved with GrowthCanvas in such a short space of time,” said Jaspal Sohal, Founder and Director of Multidmedia Limited. “This acquisition validates our approach to innovation - rapid, focused, and grounded in real-world needs. Oxford Innovation Advice was one of the platform’s earliest adopters, so it’s especially rewarding to now be working in close partnership as we take GrowthCanvas to the next stage of its evolution.”

As part of the acquisition, Multidmedia Limited will collaborate with Oxford Innovation Advice to further develop GrowthCanvas™ as a core component of its digital advisory portfolio, alongside the long-established GROWTHmapper® platform. The partnership will focus on enhancing the platform’s AI capabilities and scaling its impact to support thousands more SMEs across the UK.

Multidmedia Limited’s proven track record in building robust, user-focused software has been central to the success of GrowthCanvas™. With products and tools used by over 100,000 users worldwide the company has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver scalable, impactful digital solutions that meet the demands of both enterprise and public sector clients.

“Everything we design, prototype, and build is done entirely in-house — no offshoring,” Sohal added. “It’s what gives us full control over quality, speed, and innovation. I’m incredibly excited about the future roadmap for GrowthCanvas and the continued evolution of Multidmedia.”
