This sits in the lower-middle of the Business Services band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.
The North East and Tees Valley areas have amongst the lowest rates in the UK of expenditure on R&D, of patents granted, trademarks registered and designs registered.
The LEPs and other government funded bodies aim to address this failing by encouraging increased innovation, and increased knowledge exchange between research intensive organisations such as Universities, and local SMEs.
The consortium of universities of Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria and Teesside worked collaboratively to identify demand for a project of this nature.
The Intensive Industrial Innovation Programme (IIIP) projects were developed in order to address the market failures of imperfect information, scale economies and partial public goods.
Each partner university will support SMEs by providing highly qualified post graduate individuals to support the company's R&D ambitions.
Funding was awarded in January 2018 to two Intensive Industrial Innovation Programme projects - one in the North East LEP area and one in the Tees Valley LEP area.
