a Designplus Network Design Business Seminar

Designplus will continued to grow in 2006, organising events and conferences that provided our members with the right ideas, contacts and strategies to enable them and their businesses to develop and expand.

We were delighted to invite delegates to the first of our (then) new series of seminars and workshops, where we examined the role funding plays in the growth of a business.

A panel of experts presented a wide range of strategies for gaining funding through Universities. We demonstrated how companies, both large and small, can obtain financial investment from KTP schemes or CONNECT / Pocket grants.

Speakers at this event included:

• Nathan Burgess, Enterprise Director  ‘Knowledge Transfer Partnerships – Case Studies’
• Andrew Curly, Enterprise Exchange  ‘Funding Schemes for Small Businesses’
• Hilary Dalke, Reader in Design  ‘Design and KTP / CONNECT Grant Funding’
• Charlene Edwards, Knowledge Transfer Manager  ‘How to Apply for Funding’
