Plymouth Science Park is to host a session with Tech South West, on 12 February, for companies to find out how Growth Forge can support their business, and how they can access bursaries to cover the funding.
Growth Forge is a comprehensive business support programme for tech companies in the South West. Experts from the likes of Microsoft, Sandler and Bishop Fleming are supporting the programme, which also has Growth Day events, growth coaches, mentoring and a complete Growth Assessment Tool for companies to utilise through 2024.
The programme is for companies where technology is a key part of their work, offering, or product development. Companies who successfully apply to the programme will be able to work with Microsoft on tech product development, including AI, and plug into the region’s investment funds and angel investor groups.
Ian McFadzen, CEO of Plymouth Science Park, said: “It’s great to be able to provide events such as the Growth Forge for Plymouth businesses. Supporting the Growth Forge provides our tenants and local businesses with opportunities to grow, and I’m looking forward to seeing our community benefit from this exciting opportunity.”
Dan Pritchard, CEO of Tech South West will present and answer any questions one to one. The event will take place on Monday February 12 from 10-11am in room 4 at Plymouth Science Park.
