Innovation agency launches new webinar series for SMEs

Innovate UK EDGE have announced they will be holding their first Regional Funding Roundup webinar on Wednesday 26 October.

The webinar series is to take place every six months. Each session will be a chance for innovative SMEs to hear from representatives from funding organisations across the West Midlands, on the grant funding opportunities that will be available to them.

Each representative speaker will give a short introduction to their organisation before giving an in-depth overview of the funding opportunities that are available. Attendees will also be invited to ask any questions they may have following the speaker 's presentations.

In October 2022, innovation and growth specialist Avalon Adjei Maison will host speakers from Birmingham City Council, Greater Birmingham and Solihull Growth Hub, Staffordshire BIC, Coventry University Services and the Department for International Trade. This first session will be taking place from 2pm-4pm.

Innovate UK EDGE are a publicly funded service available to all high potential, small to medium sized innovation-driven companies, including Innovate UK grant winners.

Courteney Boden (pictured), marketing and events coordinator at Innovate UK EDGE, said: “This is a fantastic and convenient opportunity for businesses to find out more about the grants currently available to them in the West Midlands.

“Our direct approach will bring attendees and speakers together to learn about what is on offer and how to apply for it, as well as ask any questions they may have. ”
