Innovation Support

The Innovation Park works with other agencies, business support organizations, funding bodies and academia with companies of all sizes and from all industry sectors in their pursuit of new product or process ideas.

Product Development Process

No company can afford to ignore their customers' demands for new, improved or cheaper products and Companies that stand still and ignore those demands do not survive. The Product Development Process covers the total process from product idea to commercialisation and involves a sequence of steps that an enterprise employs to conceive, market test, design, prototype, test, protect, design for manufacture and commercialise a product. A sound development process controls costs and investment, increases the chance of an idea being successful, enhances credibility and ultimately accelerates the time technology takes to come to market. Advice, information, funding and exploitation support is available from the Innovation Park at whatever stage you are within the product development cycle.

Funding Support

There is a wide range of financial support available to Companies that are engaged in innovation. The Innovation Park staff can help companies determine the level of support required and help them gain access to that support.
