About

Teesside University awarded a contract to Excalibur (UK) Ltd for the delivery of two inter-related support strands aimed at enabling Tees Valley SMEs to innovate, with a focus on hard-to-reach and non-innovating SMEs.

Strand 1 involved organising, delivering, and promoting workshops to raise awareness and aspirations by developing SMEs' understanding of innovation, including one-to-one assessments and signposting to support services.

Strand 2 involved a programme of practical workshops covering business modelling, commercialisation pathways, and launch planning to help SMEs exploit new products, processes, and markets.

The contract runs for a 1+1+1 year arrangement, with each strand delivered once per year over three years, and is funded by ERDF.

The contract value is AUD 39,795.
