Essex Innovation Programmes
What are the Essex Innovation Programmes?
Innovation – the successful commercialisation of new ideas – is vital if we are to see our economy grow stronger and witness the emergence of a new generation of businesses able to compete in the international marketplace. The Essex Innovation Programmes, therefore, is working to create the best possible environment within Essex, Thurrock and Southend, that allows both new and existing businesses to exploit to the full potential of their new ideas and creativity.
The Essex Innovation Programmes offers a range of support under two programmes, 'New Ideas', for entrepreneurs and startup's, & 'Developing Innovative Businesses' for early stage and existing businesses.
