Innovation doesn’t just mean new products and processes. We’re all about connecting you with experts who can help optimise your business model, de-risk your investment decisions, and maximise your chances of success. A busy programme of technical and business workshops, courses, and events keep you up to date with market innovation, and on top of your game.

Funding

Business planning comes before applying for funding. The more fully formed your business idea is, the more support you’ll get from advisors, mentors, and funding officers.

We don’t provide funding but our Business Development Managers can discuss your funding options, support you with your business planning, and connect you with the right people.
