NEP and SEMLEP worked together to secure the £4 million from Round 4 of the Government’s Regional Growth Fund
It’s January of course, a month traditionally thought of as an ideal time to rein back pre-Christmas spending.
So, this probably makes it a particularly good time to tell you about new funding available for the High Performance Technology (HPT) Network in Northamptonshire and the South East Midlands area.
Launched by Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership (NEP) and South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) the HPT R&D Investment Programme offers a total value of £4 million and will leverage a further £12 million in private sector investment and create 500 jobs by March 2018.
Medium to large size enterprises in the HPT sectorare encouraged to apply for grants of up to £1million (£500,000 minimum) to undertake innovative large-scale research and development activity. Applicants will need to evidence significant private sector investment in R&D activity which ultimately leads to the creation of sustainable private sector jobs and positive impact on the local supply chain.
NEP and SEMLEP worked together to secure the £4 million from Round 4 of the Government’s Regional Growth Fund (RGF) which supports projects that help leverage private sector investment to create economic growth and sustainable employment.
