The KNOWLEDGE CONNECT programme is simple, practical and aimed at delivering bottomline impact into businesses quickly and effectively.

The programme works in four steps:

Thought-provoking and stimulating events to start thinking about and exploring new opportunities for your business.  Come along ang get inspired!

preparation:

Register online here, so we can check your eligibility for the programme. If you are eligible one of our experienced KNOWLEDGE CONNECT Mediators will come to see you. You tell us about your business and your ideas for the future and we help to challenge, develop and refine your ideas into a project proposal.
 

matching:

Once we’ve met you and discussed your project proposal we will find you a Knowledgebase partner who will provide an expert to work with you on your project. Together you will complete an application form which is presented at our grant panel.

collaborating:

If your application is approved at the grant panel you will receive a voucher for £3,000 as a grant to pay for your expert’s time working on your project. Then you can start work – and start growing your business!
