A Little Voucher Could Make A Big Difference

What could £4,000 do for your business?

The October call for Invest Northern Ireland Innovation Vouchers opens on 1 October 2013.

£4,000 could do a lot for your business if you’re a small or medium sized business wanting to get that extra edge, or struggling with an issue that needs expert help to solve.

What is an innovation voucher?

An Innovation Voucher lets you tap into specialist knowledge to develop forward-thinking solutions or ideas to expand, improve or create new products, services and processes that will help you compete more effectively.

You can team up with one of 39 respected universities, colleges and research organisations throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. These are called Knowledge Providers.

The programme is as flexible as it is straightforward, letting you access expertise for many kinds of innovation projects. Please note, however, that if there is a solution to your issue that is readily available from the private sector then it is unlikely that a voucher will be awarded.

You can find out how other companies in Northern Ireland benefited from the Innovation Vouchers scheme on the Innovation Vouchers website.
