Worcestershire businesses can access innovation support to help with R&D opportunities. Via schemes like the BetaDen technology accelerator, start-up and established businesses can access funding and mentorship to take their early stage ideas or product development through to market readiness.
Through the Growth Hub and its partner networks, entrepreneurs and established organisations can access local, regional and national investment opportunities. Whether that be through innovation grant opportunities, or via local Angel investment groups, Worcestershire businesses can utilise this support to bring investment into their business.
Organisations can often value support wider than just funding and support schemes and have the opportunity to join growth networks to engage and collaborate with like-minded individuals. Via the Growth Hub, businesses and entrepreneurs can have the opportunity to access business forums, events and specialised growth networks such as Worcestershire TechFest and the Women in Technology & Innovation Community.
