Enterprise Hubs - bringing together the region's knowledge-based industries
Extensive research from the Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) shows that businesses working in isolation are less likely to fulfil their potential and innovate.
As the key to competitiveness in a knowledge economy, our Enterprise Hubs programme is designed to drive innovation by bringing the region's knowledge-based businesses together.
EEDA is doing this by:
- developing a network of enterprise hubs across the region to support the region's key knowledge-based sectors, aimed at enhancing technology and knowledge transfer
- encouraging the development of networking groups in these key sectors and clusters: to assist small business members through technology collaboration, market information, business support, training opportunities and supply chain information
- supporting the development of a select number of incubators, innovation centres and science parks. These link knowledge-based businesses with higher education, research and development centres of excellence and major companies
- encouraging knowledge transfer and ensuring the delivery of innovation support and for all knowledge-based businesses. This helps small businesses to access expertise and advice on the development of new and improved products, services and business processes.
Learn more about next generation science parks under our Science, Innovation and High-level Skills programme.
