What is it? An intensive day of prototyping new products and services with an open data focus.

Who is it for? SMEs interested in bringing new ideas to market, but have not yet come up with a plan on how to do it.

Data consultancy? Does that mean it's a programming event? Not at all. The event is open to all SMEs who want to come one step closer to bringing a fresh idea to market.

This is going to cost an arm and a leg, isn't it? The event is free. LORIC is an ERDF-funded project that is committed to offering free support to SMEs in the region. However, places are very limited, and are given on a first-come, first-serve basis.

An all-day event, you say? Better block out my calendar. We look forward to seeing you here.

Please email loric@bishopg.ac.uk if you have any dietary or accessibility requirements.
