Innovation Networks (stand 223) will be talking to visitors about relevant funding available, how collaboration between small groups can work and the opportunity to access expert consultants, academic institutions and research agencies.

This exciting Advantage West Midlands initiative is aimed at increasing the region's ability to innovate and compete. Visitors can receive financial backing and strategic assistance towards new and exciting projects. Innovation Networks encourages local businesses with complementary expertise to work together to turn ideas into reality, by developing products, processes and services. And the really good news is that companies can access a grant of £10,000 or more to make it happen.

Innovation Networks has already supported over 60 projects, ranging from the world's first inflatable body armour system, right through to specialist dental equipment and a major breakthrough in heavy-duty shelving.
