Background

Funded by the South East England Development Agencies (SEEDA), South East Business Innovation and Growth has been formed to help businesses which have the potential to innovate and grow.  It is important to businesses and the economy of the region to ensure that every conceivable level of support is provided to make the South East region a success.

Such support is not restricted to start-up or early stage companies.  In fact, our Innovation and Growth Teams (IGTs) are here to help any business, from pre-revenue and those at proof of concept stage, right up to companies that have revenues topping £100million.

Nor is the support solely focused on technology or knowledge based businesses.  Any type of business may apply for assistance as long as it is innovative and has the potential to grow significantly beyond its current size.

The definition of innovation is also cast wide, encompassing new products, new services, new models, new methods.

South East Business Innovation and Growth is here to help you grow your business through timely assistance, as well as impartial and expert support.  Whatever your situation - starting a business, looking for finance, planning on expanding into a new market, considering export options, trying to find the right partner, hoping to work with a larger organisation through ‘Open Innovation’ – there is something here for you.
