Innovation Lincolnshire Outreach Programme

ANGLE has been appointed to manage the new Innovation Lincolnshire Outreach Programme which is focussed upon improving business growth and performance within the Lincolnshire region. This flagship programme, lasting 21 months, is valued at £1.7 million. The programme is being established to raise the economic performance and aspirations of Lincolnshire’s businesses by providing effective support for innovation and entrepreneurship across the County.

The aim of the programme is to assist businesses in the County by advising them on key business growth issues including ways to become more innovative with their processes, the conversion of ideas into new products or services, doing business with suppliers and clients and the identification of new strategies for running businesses.

ANGLE was awarded the contract on the basis of its experience working in similar business support programmes, both in the UK and internationally, and the techniques which it was able to demonstrate have generated measurable innovation benefits for a range of other SMEs.  ANGLE was also able to fulfil a critical requirement of the programme, namely to ensure rapid deployment of a team of professional innovation managers with relevant commercial and technical experience.

Since its inception the programme has engaged with a large number of businesses across the county, in a wide variety of sectors including information technology, environmental technology, agricultural engineering, business services and contemporary media.
