Introduction

The Kent & Medway Innovation & Growth Team (IGT) is here to support companies based in Kent and Medway as well as further afield. Our team of experienced professionals, working alongside our partners, delivers blended business support for innovative and high growth companies.

Kent has a large business base of innovative companies from the UK and overseas who benefit from the county’s proximity and easy access to London and the continent. It is no surprise therefore that the Kent & Medway Innovation & Growth Team has plenty of expertise in the commercialisation of products and services internationally.

Kent also has more than its fair share of start-ups and is undergoing massive regeneration and improved rail communications.

Like other IGTs, we support companies at all stages in their development, from start-up and early stage, through SMEs, right up to large corporations. The type of support delivered is tailored to suit them, the aim always being to help clients stand every chance of success and business growth, both in the UK and internationally. If you own or manage a business which you think may benefit, get in contact with us.

Message from the Team Director

The Kent and Medway Innovation and Growth Team can give your company access to the technical and business support expertise of the region and links to a worldwide knowledge network.

If you have the capability and ambition to achieve high growth, we can also offer dedicated support to help you access this network and utilise it to make your business a success.

Whatever the business need we will help you identify the resources you require, develop a plan and build them into a successful business strategy.

Expect good service, hands on business experience, challenging but honest feedback and advice, along with introductions to excellent support networks and sector expertise.
