Innovate Local East of England

What knowledge, funding and investment do you need to test your ideas and grow your business? Join this free event to learn how Innovate UK can fund and support your innovation, how Anglia Ruskin University can power-up your ideas with expert knowledge and facilities at its new campus in Peterborough – a brand new university for the city which will open its doors in September 2022, and how TWI Ltd’s technical experts can help you form new partnerships for collaborative R&D projects.

They can connect you to people in your field and to sources of advice on starting or scaling up, employment, international trade and winning investment, whether from them or other sources. All you need is the idea; They will help you piece the rest of the puzzle together.

You’ll hear from some of the many businesses that have benefited from working with them, people whose clean and green ideas are now their successful products and services.

They will explain net zero strategies and clean growth opportunities, the funding and finance that are available, how to write a grant application people want to receive and how to make your business investment ready.
