Future funding opportunities in the Greater Leeds area

Later this month, CPI will be hosting a business networking event in Leeds to discuss future funding opportunities for SMEs, and to celebrate the success of the ERDF ForTaMP project.

During the last three years, ERDF ForTaMP (co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund) has supported over 60 companies in the Leeds City Region, and North and West Yorkshire by providing fully-funded technical support to help them develop new products and processes.

As a way of celebrating, CPI will showcase some of the companies they have worked with, their innovative ideas, and highlight the work delivered by their highly skilled technical team within CPI.

The event will also explore next steps for innovation support in the region and includes speakers from:

• West Yorkshire Combined Authority
• Innovate UK
• RTC North – Innovate Edge
• DIT
• University of Bradford
• CPI Enterprises
• DASA

The event will take place in the very heart of Leeds at the Hilton Double Tree Hotel (behind the train station) on 28th February from 9.30-2.30pm, and will include refreshments and lunch.

This is a great opportunity to network with like-minded people, meet Representatives from the region’s business support organisations, and discuss funding programmes such as Innovate UK Edge, the Community Renewal Fund, Bradford’s ERDF Cayman project and KTPs, and fully-funded support from the Defence and Security Accelerator amongst others.
