Welcome to The Innovation Factory

At Business Link, we want to help North East businesses maximise their potential and future growth - we know that innovation plays a major part in our region's success.

This is why we're organising two unique events - The Innovation Factories:

18 March 2010
9.00am - 5.00pm
XCEL Centre, Newton Aycliffe

24 March 2010
9.00am - 5.00pm
Stephenson Works, Newcastle
(original factory for Stephenson’s Rocket)

Each Innovation Factory is free of charge to attend.

Catering and refreshments are provided.

Our interactive concept will encourage creativity and allow delegates to develop and test new business ideas. These will be generated during short workshops and discussions with our experts from industry, knowledge based institutions, and business support organisations.

Innovation Factories are open to all established businesses who are interested in new ways to improve business performance and productivity.

Join us to discover the full range of funding and finance available to support innovation in the North East.

Please take a look around this site to find out more about the Innovation Factory.

We look forward to meeting you at the events.
