Innovate UK Launchpads is a programme aimed at supporting emerging clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK.

Each Launchpad supports a geographic cluster and is open to businesses of all sizes (including SMEs and large businesses), providing innovation funding, support, and networking opportunities to help businesses to innovate, grow and scale their businesses.

Launchpads are tailored to cater to a specific innovation cluster, addressing some of the key challenges facing SMEs in the cluster, which may be access to innovation finance and collaboration. 

This briefing event is for the Digital Technologies Launchpad – Positioned in North East England, this Launchpad will be at the forefront of digital technologies applied into fast growth and emerging markets.
