Two-day Innovation and bid writing workshop - 29th & 30th March

As markets and conditions recover, investing in innovation is key to helping businesses future proof, grow their markets and adapt to opportunities. This intensive two-day workshop is for SMEs that are responding to new opportunities and looking to disrupt the market through innovation.

You may already have a great idea that needs developing or you are looking for some headspace to figure it out. This comprehensive course helps you to define your proposition in terms of innovation; familiarise you with the funding landscape, develop your pitch and hone your bid writing skills.

What will you get from this workshop?

This workshop is designed for SMEs working on a innovative project. We will help you to articulate your innovation projects and take your ideas to the next stage.

We will:

• Introduce you to the fundamentals of bringing innovation into your business.

• Give you practical innovation tools to help you generate creative ideas, evaluate and test them for your business.

• Help you understand how innovation projects can be funded and how to write winning bids.

• Give you the confidence, practical skills and techniques to pitch your idea.

The sessions are designed to be interactive, with participants working in small collaborative groups and engaging in peer-to-peer learning.

Is this two-day workshop for you?

This workshop is designed to be relevant for SMEs or small charities that are developing innovative ideas and looking to turn these ideas into successful new products or services. This would suit those that want to develop their narrative and are working towards further funding and investment.

This in-person workshop is funded by the ERDF and is free to SMEs in Swindon & Wiltshire. Places are limited to 20 SMEs and so we politely request that you commit to the full programme.
