Do you have an innovation project that needs acceleration? Do you need additional R&D investment to make your business case work?

Come and hear about the  work our region’s universities are doing to form an innovation partnership for Hampshire and Solent, aimed at unlocking growth in the local innovative business community. Also hear about the UK’s first open-access Large Structures Innovation Centre (LSIC), located on the Isle of Wight and operated by NCC. Initially focused on wind energy, LSIC will also drive innovation in maritime and infrastructure, tackling the challenges of next generation large structures.

Overview
