What’s Innovate Local?
The Innovate Local Program is a suite of regional engagement events that promote Innovate UK & UKRI objectives. We work with local stakeholders to create an event that addresses regional innovation priorities and workshops to help businesses learn more about the grants and innovation process.
Our objective is to reach out to local businesses and demonstrate the types and level of support available, and through the presentation and panel sessions inspire them to look at innovation in their business.
The Program is now in its 4th year and KTN has been a trusted delivery partner throughout this time, organising and delivering the Innovate Local events.
