Innovate UK Business Growth

Teesside University is part of the national Innovate UK Business Growth consortium helping your innovative business to grow, scale and go international.

Innovate UK Business Growth is a key part of the UK innovation agency's deep investment in pioneering businesses that drive economic growth. It is a publicly funded service available to all high potential small to medium sized innovation-driven companies, including Innovate UK grant winners.

We work closely with leadership teams to create the conditions for each business to succeed and bring the benefits of their innovation to national and international audiences. Since 2015 we have been empowering clients to grow and scale their businesses through actionable advice, access to vital resources and opportunities to enhance their abilities.

Our innovation and growth specialists are at the centre of our service. Each client engagement results in a bespoke strategy where common priorities include:

  • exploiting business innovation: developing a commercial strategy and building a team to deliver it, protecting and harnessing your intellectual property, improving innovation management and accessing the innovation ecosystem globally
  • sourcing funding and finance: applying the right strategy to secure grants and capital for your business, enhancing investor appeal and getting investment-ready to propel your growth
  • opening new markets: creating connections to partners and leveraging insights to expand into vertical and international markets and achieve scale.
