SUMMARY:Leadership Series - 1
DESCRIPTION:The Innovation Centre \, Knowledge Gateway in Partnership with Relocon will be delivering a series of leadership events focused on supporting the growth of the ICKG and Relocon community. \nThese Leadership events are designed to help each member of the community develop a leadership mindset that is personally reflective of their values but also empowering for the many.

Please apply to the Front of house team at the ICKG for further details.

DESCRIPTION:  \nInnovate UK\, the Knowledge Transfer Network and the Enterprise Europe Network are hosting a briefing event for the second of two Open innovation loans competitions in the extension of the award-winning pilot programme\, which is currently open for applications here. \nInnovate UK is extending its pilot programme of loan competitions. A total of £50 million has been committed to 70 borrowers in the initial pilot and a further £25 million is available for business innovation projects. This is the second competition in the pilot extension. Innovate UK is working to broaden the range of innovation finance support available to businesses\, so they can access funding at all stages of innovation. Innovation loans are for UK small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that want to scale up and grow through innovation\, developing new or improved products\, processes or services. They can be used for late-stage research and development (R&D) projects\, which have not yet reached the point of commercialisation. \nThe purpose of the briefing event is to provide vital information to enable businesses to decide if an innovation loan is appropriate for them and\, if so\, to develop a clear and compelling application that shows that they have an innovative project and are suitable for a loan.
