Innovation Vouchers

A little voucher could make a big difference. What could £4000 do for your business?

A lot more than you might imagine if you’re a small or medium sized business wanting to get that extra edge, or struggling with an issue that needs expert help to solve.



You can apply for an Innovation Voucher worth £4k to allow your business to work with one of our 39 highly respected universities colleges or research bodies.



It will let you tap into specialist knowledge to develop forward-thinking solutions or ideas to expand, improve or create new products, services and processes that will help you compete more effectively.



Please note, however that if there is a solution to your issue that is readily available from the private sector then it is unlikely that a voucher will be awarded.

Mobile Commerce and Analytics Workshops

Invest NI is continuing its series of practical and interactive ICT workshops with the next two topics focusing on Mobile Commerce and Analytics.

Mobile Commerce

It's fair to say that with the rapid rate of adoption, that mobile is changing things. It's no exaggeration to call it the 7th mass media. So, arguably, mobile is probably no longer a choice. Your customers expect it.

So, where should you start?

This workshop will demystify the hype and buzz and help you define a clear mobile strategy for your company.

This workshop will help you set clear objectives and with this approach you'll move up from ad hoc reporting to insights which lead to improvements in your business.
