About this Event
Summary
In these uncertain times it is more important than ever for SME’s to understand the support that is available to stabilise the business and enable continued growth through innovation.
This event will give an overview of the support available in the Midlands region from both the public and private sectors and how to apply, with the opportunity to ask questions and connect with an expert after the session to discuss your individual circumstances. The event will be hosted on Microsoft Teams.
You will hear from representatives from Innovate UK EDGE, who help innovative SME’s to grow and scale, the British Business Bank who have been at the forefront of assisting companies to navigate the government’s COVID-19 financial packages, as well as providing regional funds such as the Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF), and finally, TBAT Innovation who are experts in research and development tax credits which provide a cash injection or reduction in corporation tax on completion of R&D activity.
This event is brought to you by Aerospace Unlocking Potential (UP) which aims to support the aerospace supply chain in the Midlands by helping to unlock its innovation potential. The project is being delivered by the University of Nottingham and the Midlands Aerospace Alliance and is supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
