As part of a £5m ERDF funded programme called 映客直播 Research Innovation Technology Exchange (BRITE), the university is working to help regional companies innovate, address challenges on growth and recovery and explore new opportunities, using innovation research carried out by the Centre for Change, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (CENTRIM).

The university is working with Plus X, as the delivery partner for the BRITE project, which launched in 2020. The project is now taking another significant step in driving SME business innovation through its INSPIRE programme, which provides an integrated programme of bespoke e-learning, 1-2-1 coaching and small group workshops to help SMEs overcome their difficulties in developing sustainable innovation practices.

The university has launched a call for six expert innovation coaches to help deliver the 1-2-1 coaching, providing an exciting opportunity for coaches to work directly with SMEs who will be matched to the coach following a deep dive diagnostic assessment of their needs.

Coaches will receive training on the university's unique INSPIRE open innovation model, developed by academics through the Horizon 2020 project.

If you would like to apply to become one of our INSPIRE coaches please search BRITE INSPIRE coaches.

The project is receiving up to £5m of funding from the England European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020. The Department for Communities and Local Government is the Managing Authority for ERDF. Established by the European Union ERDF funds help local areas stimulate their economic development by investing in projects which will support innovation, businesses, create jobs and local community regenerations.
