UCLan invites companies to apply for investment funds

The University of Central Lancashire is offering funding support to businesses aiming to develop innovative new products, services or processes by utilising the University’s academic expertise.

In some cases, UCLan can contribute 100% of the project cost in return for a share of future profits derived from the new product or service.

Peter Leather, UCLan Innovation and Enterprise, said: “The Idea Investment Voucher allows businesses to grow and diversify. By working collaboratively with UCLan, organisations can access specialist equipment, expert knowledge and the latest research in their sector to give their organisation a competitive advantage in their respective market.” The Idea Investment Voucher scheme is open to businesses with over 20 employees including non SMEs and Corporates from across the UK.
