Build your business around IP – It’s all in the planning

Organiser

 

Funding for Business Innovation

Ewa Bloch, West Midlands Regional Manager at Innovate UK, will discuss the role that Innovate UK plays both in terms of its national remit and regional presence; how it helps businesses understand market and business opportunities, and how it can support them in developing products, processes and services that grow their companies, and also contribute to the UK economy.

Tax Relief for Business Innovation

David Marshall, Director at MMP Tax, will explain why innovative companies should put IP planning at the forefront of their business strategy.

SME’s, start-ups and established large businesses can all benefit from understanding how IP planning can have a positive impact on their business.

MMP will explore the following areas to demonstrate why businesses should take a wider view of IP and technology incentives and the positive impact they can have:

  • Developing new IP – what to consider
  • IP tax strategy – how can I make it pay
  • IP protection strategy – how to avoid the pitfalls
  • Your people and their role in IP
  • Your website and supply chain – who owns the IP?

Who should attend?

  • Business, Finance, Tax and Technical leads from all innovative businesses.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas. She was able to put me in contact with different organisations and people to find out answers to my questions and help me to solve some inquiries I was having. I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub.

Exeter Analytical (UK) Limited,

Thank you for the comprehensive and professional guidance

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
