About this Event
Define how your business can exploit opportunities for innovation
This session will help businesses define how to best develop or adapt solutions to address new markets or opportunities, how to assess potential success to be confident of investing time and effort towards a particular innovation project and what collaborations and support can make innovation easier. Participants will come away from the session with a greater understanding of how to develop innovative solutions using existing resources and insights, and match these to unmet needs and opportunities of existing and new markets.
All sessions will provide information on funding and support available for innovation projects through the DFIB programme as well as opportunities to collaborate and network with other businesses tackling similar issues in the region. They will also include talks from organisations using ElecTech to innovate and share their insights about they have used the approaches the workshop will use to drive growth in their own businesses.
*These Bootcamps have been designed to address different parts of the innovation journey and build on each other, but you are welcome to attend, one, two or all three sessions and will still benefit from building your understanding of how to successfully develop and deliver new solutions and the funding and support available to make this easier.
