Innovate NE: Pathways to Innovation

Pathways to Innovation works with Gateshead-based businesses to understand the challenges they face when adopting innovative technologies or bringing new innovation to market.

The expert team at Innovation SuperNetwork will work with businesses to develop clear innovation action plans that give practical targeted support to ensure businesses, entrepreneurs and start-ups can achieve their innovation and growth goals.

The programme will include a combination of one-to-one support and events, providing opportunities for Gateshead-based businesses to connect, collaborate and gain insight from one another on key subject areas - from IP to valuing your business.

Also on offer is specific support to entrepreneurs who are looking to start their own business and need advice, funding and guidance to enable them to progress their start-up.

One key component of the support provided is access to finance. Innovation SuperNetwork is tapped into all the funding opportunities available to businesses and will work with those seeking equity investment to get them in front of funds, angels and VCs via our Northern Investor Hub, as well as providing advice on accessing grants and loans, for businesses at all stages of growth.

Open to small and medium-sized businesses operating across all sectors in Gateshead, the programme will also include specific activities for growing sectors in Gateshead, incl. Digital & Tech.
