Innovation means making money from inventions, ideas and technology. Innovative businesses therefore are more productive and grow quicker than businesses that don’t choose to innovate. Innovative economies are typically more competitive, are dynamic and observe higher returns on investment.

To help you accelerate economic growth for your business we can help bring innovative products and services to market quicker. This can be done via spotting the right funding opportunities for new product development, helping to gain access to the right people and facilities and helping to acquire funding to de-risk your innovative R&D project.

Through accessing public funding you can de-risk your R&D development project by offsetting the cost associated with undertaking the work yourself. Additionally the collaborative nature of public funding programmes will enable access to people with the right skills and equipment to help you on the journey to commercialisation.

It can be a rewarding opportunity as it can give you a path into developing new supply chains for commercialisation and also can help to raise the profile of your company within a different sector and on a European scale.
