iNets South West

Networking for Innovation (iNets) is a product within the government-funded ‘Solutions for Business’ portfolio of business support.

The iNets support businesses in turning ideas into new products and services. The iNet does this by providing access to specialist information and research, linking businesses to new markets and through sharing knowledge and expertise.

iNets South West are supported by £12.5 million of funding from the South West RDA, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and partner investments. They are running from mid 2010 to 2013.

There are five iNets planned for business sectors in South West England:

• Environmental
• Microelectronics
• Aerospace and Advanced Engineering
• Biomedical
• Creative Industries

For information about the individual iNets, events and funding, please visit www.inets-sw.co.uk

The University of the West of England will lead three out of five iNets granted to the South West region. To find out more about UWE’s involvement, please visit their website using the link opposite.
