We have delivered a business support programme to provide eligible Yorkshire businesses with two days worth of our time to support bio-based start-ups or the commercialisation of new bio-based products/services. This funding came to an end in June 2023 and our team are looking for further funding opportunities to continue this support. Support included:

• event design, marketing and organisation
• tailored one-to-one supply chain, business or research introductions
• investment opportunities through introductions to specialised investors
• desk-based reports, such as reviews of potential bio-based materials or products
• providing exhibition stand space, promotion and facilitated networking at a trade fair or conference
• communications strategy development including defining target audiences, developing key messages and writing press releases
• design and delivery of public engagement events to educate the general public about the bioeconomy including the creation of curriculum-compatible materials for school-aged children as well as connections to a network of teachers and educators.

This support was part of the BDC’s ERDF-funded business support programme.

There are plenty of other ways to work with us, please contact us to discuss.
