The Local Innovation Landscape
Organiser
By working even more closely with regional landscape partners Innovate UK feel that there is a great opportunity to support economic growth, and increase productivity through innovation.
This is why Innovate UK has invested in regional managers and we want to make the regional and national support more visible than ever.
The Local Innovation Landscape; Innovate UK in the West Midlands event will enable regional business throughout the West Midlands to obtain a thorough understanding of the funding and support that is available to them from the Innovate UK family including; the Knowledge Transfer Network, Enterprise Europe Network, the Catapults and also from other regional landscape partners, such as the Local Enterprise Partnerships, Regional Growth Hubs and other trade organisations.
As part of this event, the morning session will focus on Round 2 of Innovate UK's Infrastructure Systems competition (running in the morning session), featuring an introduction to the competition, relevant case studies and 2min elevator pitches from organisation's showcasing their offerings and what they are seeking from potential partners.
