About

Birmingham City Council awarded a contract to EXO PROJECTS LIMITED and Midlands Aerospace Alliance for the delivery of innovation 'challenge events' and company-centric innovation support as part of a pilot programme, including small innovation grant awards, to test and demonstrate effective approaches to increasing business innovation in key growth industries in the Greater Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership area.

The pilot responds to consultancy findings (Optimat 2018) identifying industry demand for challenge-led events, a lack of company-centric innovation support, and need for small scale innovation grants.

Evaluation will identify learning on barriers to SME-led innovation, opportunities from emerging digital technologies, and the effectiveness of challenge-led approaches and grants.
