Devon businesses invited to lead innovation

Devon County Council and the Open Innovation Project are inviting ambitious Devon entrepreneurs to apply for just 12 places on their Game Change programme.

This unique workshop is FREE to attend and will be held at Exeter Library on 28, 29 January and 5 February.

The Game Change events will be used to demonstrate to European partners how the UK delivers best practice in innovative business support.

Past attendees brought along issues including plateaued sales growth, getting the best from new Directors and planning for succession.

The Game Change process challenges businesses to dig deeply within themselves for the ideas and innovative strategies needed to overcome these challenges.

Business Think Ltd has been awarded the contract to deliver this Open Innovation event.

Open Innovation is an EU funded Project delivered in the South West by a partnership including Devon County Council and Plymouth University.

“Devon has a huge range of dynamic and innovative businesses,” says Councillor Andrew Leadbetter, Portfolio Holder for Economy & Enterprise at Devon County Councillor.

“I’m delighted that we’ve been able to support this programme which will help those attending to tackle key issues which may be preventing their businesses from reaching their full potential.

At the same time we can share with European partners how we deliver innovative business support, and learn from them new techniques to help ensure our economy grows.”
