The Innovation Driving Growth event has stirred up a range of options showing business leaders how to apply new ideas, tools and technologies to support the growth and ambitions of their companies.

But it’s often easier to think about these things than to roll them out. There are so many questions to answer first.

If you’re thinking about innovation for your business but aren’t sure what the best way forward is, which solution to choose, where the pain points will be etc., the Innovation Clinic is just you!

We have 4 top innovation experts ready to help you sift through the possibilities and work out the best way forward. While the clinic is open, you can book in for 30 minute sessions with one expert or, depending on what you want to find out, all of them!

At the end of your consultations you’ll have gained clarity on what the best strategy might be for your business or, at minimum, a clear idea of the steps you have to take to get there.

The clinic will run virtual appointments over Zoom.

Here’s how it works…

• Think through the ideas you want to explore
• Have a look at the experts and decide who might be able to help
• Reserve your session(s) with one or more experts
• We’ll come back to you with the times of you appointments and joining instructions
• Dial in and have the session(s)

When it’s all finished, and you have a clear idea what you want to do, you can get more help or guidance from Silicon South, Dorset Chambers, The Growth Hub or the Local Enterprise Partnerships.

From: Innovation funding to mentoring to expertise support - you’ll be able to find all the details of where to go next on the Silicon South website.
