The Lancashire Innovation Network scheme is delivered by a team of experienced, independent advisers. They can provide free impartial advice, guidance and financial assistance to businesses with potential to grow through the use of new technology and innovation. The project supports non retail SMEs across the whole of Lancashire and operates until December 2013.

The team provides in-depth one-to-one support to assess how innovative change can benefit businesses. Expertise can also be leveraged externally from the private sector or from the region’s universities and colleges. Partial financial support to a maximum of £5,000 is also available together with opportunities to access additional support via partner offers such as Rosebud Financial Solutions.

We provide a wide range of help, including:

  • Information technology: web, e-business, software development, mobile computing, networking, systems integration.
  • Product development: intellectual property, prototyping, manufacturing, licensing
  • Process innovation: enhanced working methods, supply chain improvements, implementation of new machinery and supporting systems.

Partly supported by the European Regional Development Fund, we provide free assistance to help you realise the potential of your business through enhanced innovation and more effective use of technology.
