I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE ….. OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE GEOFF RILEY

by paul.longshaw 23/05/2019
Will your Idea Work? Three posters like the one seen here next to our Chief Executive Geoff Riley are located on bus shelters around Stafford where the BIC will be holding a workshop on 6 June entitled "Will your Idea Work?" Let us know through Social Media @staffsBIC if you've seen the posters and where they are. If you know anybody who has a new product idea and not sure whether it is feasible, do encourage them to attend this event at www.thebic.co.uk/events and we will give them the skills they need to find out if their idea will work and also introduce them to the BIC's £5,000 New Product Development Grant.

OPEN ROUND OF GRANT FUNDING FROM INNOVATE UK

by paul.longshaw 31/10/2018

Just thought I’d let you know that there is currently an OPEN Round of Funding running from Innovate UK for innovative business focussed projects as opposed to pure research. Usually funding is available for specific sectors and industries but this is an OPEN round so worth considering. Applications can come from any area of technology, science or engineering including arts, design, media or creative industries and be applied to any part of the economy.
