Entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas are to be supported by a Suffolk initiative thanks to \u00a345,000 in funding from New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Innovation Labs was launched in Stowmarket last year with the aim of fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, business growth and the development of an AI (Artificial Intelligence) Centre of Excellence.<\/p>\n

Start-up ventures in the region are now being offered the chance to apply for 25 free virtual memberships for 12 months. Each membership includes exclusive benefits such as high-level mentoring, access to funding advice, business and innovation training sessions, and support for business plan development.<\/p>\n

The scheme has been made possible after New Anglia LEP awarded funding of \u00a345,000 from its Innovative Projects Fund. This is a revenue grant programme that provides funding towards innovative projects to support the delivery of the themes and activities identified in the Economic and Industrial Strategies.<\/p>\n

Mid Suffolk District Council is also backing the initiative which will form the focal point for developing Stowmarket\u2019s world leading cluster of technology and manufacturing companies.<\/p>\n

Peter Brady, CEO at Orbital Global, said: \u201cThe pandemic has made many people assess their career aspirations. This initiative is a great opportunity for those who have long considered developing an innovative idea, but lacked the know-how, funds or confidence to
\ntake it further.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn what has been a very challenging year, Innovation Labs wants to play its part in offering hope and opportunity to Suffolk\u2019s aspiring entrepreneurs. Our virtual memberships provide a unique blend of world leading support, advice, and skills, at a time when start-ups need them most.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Starkie, Chief Executive of the LEP, added: \u201cNorfolk and Suffolk have established an excellent reputation for innovation and supporting start-ups and fostering business growth, especially in such a challenging climate, will be vital to the recovery effort over the coming months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative represents an excellent opportunity to back those with great business concepts but who don\u2019t know how to take them to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interested parties can apply at\u00a0https:\/\/virtual.innovationlabsstowmarket.com<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by submitting a 200-word entry outlining their business innovation concept and why they should be awarded an Innovation Labs Virtual Membership. Entries close on Friday 27 November.<\/p>\n

Each application will be assessed by the founders of Innovation Labs, Peter Brady, CEO of world leading digital technology company, Orbital Global, Peter Basford, founder and CEO of Business Growth Coaches Network (BGCN), and Hermione Way, Brand Consultant and former head of European communications for Tinder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
