Join us and Business Durham at our Innovation Bootcamp on Thursday 3rd November to learn about the funding and support available for innovation projects through Durham Future Innovation Building (DFIB) programme, and define how your business can exploit opportunities for innovation.

This session will help businesses define how to best develop or adapt solutions to address new markets or opportunities, how to assess potential success to be confident of investing time and effort towards a particular innovation project and what collaborations and support can make innovation easier.
