THE Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is hosting a free event in the North-East to highlight its support for the region's SMEs looking to take next generation products and processes to market.
Aimed at start-up and established companies, the day will emphasise CPI’s ability in helping businesses scale up ideas.
Titled, Taking SMEs from Innovation to Commercialisation, the event will include tours of CPI’s laboratories and a talk from keynote speaker Richard Halstead, of EEF, The Manufacturers’ Organisation.
Guests will also have the opportunity to speak to CPI research scientists and access information on business support services.
Split into two parts, the event will provide an insight into CPI’s recent work with SMEs to develop new materials coating products, and the launch of a new funding opportunity in product development.
The event takes place on Thursday, November 29 and will run from 9.30am to 3.30pm in CPI’s formulation facilities, which are based in The Coxon Building, on NETPark, Sedgefield, County Durham.
Guests are welcome to attend all or part of the day. Lunch will be provided.
