Innovate To Succeed Internationally

Workshop: Innovate To Succeed Internationally

21 January 2020 – 8AM – 10.30AM
Copthorne Hotel, Clippers Quay, Salford, Quays M50 3SN
Did you know that over 50% of new, innovative products and services launched onto the market fail?
Innovation plays a fundamental role in a company’s growth nationally and internationally. Innovation doesn’t have to be a scientific breakthrough. Incremental innovation is key to many traditional and innovative SMEs to reduce costs, become more competitive and bring new solutions to new markets and sectors. Innovation and commercialisation activities are indeed interconnected so they both need to be part of the overall business strategy.
The Innovate2Succeed (I2S) programme has been newly designed to help innovative SMEs in the North West overcome barriers to growth, develop an innovation culture, implement relevant processes to transform ideas into innovative solutions and successfully take them to the international market.
TASTER EVENT
This breakfast taster session is delivered by an industry specialist, who will share cutting-edge insights into the interconnected world of innovation and commercialisation and guide the participants through the different blocks of the I2S programme using their own innovative projects. This will ensure participants can assess the suitability of this programme and the positive impact it may have on their business.
BENEFITS OF I2S
The new programme starting in February 2020 consists of 3 practical workshops aiming at:
  • Become more competitive by creating customer-centric innovation and commercialisation strategies and culture;
  • Devise strategic plans to develop new solutions, secure potential investment, exploit your IP, find and recruit the right skills
  • Developing a compelling value proposition and sustainable business model,
  • Secure potential sales and technology and commercial partners through the right target audience, sales and marketing plan;
Each selected company will be:
  • supported by a dedicated Innovation Specialist for up to 9 days
  • have access to experts across different business areas from public and private organisations to ensure they achieve their set objectives
Participants may also be:
  • eligible for a heavily subsidised Intellectual Property Audit
  • have the opportunity to take part in mentoring, Innovation and Commercial visits to specific markets

The workshops and up to 9 days of advisory support from Innovation specialist are fully funded by Innovate UK and the European Commission. Workshops attendance is compulsory in order to get the full benefits of the programme.
