Connecting SMEs to academic expertise and graduate talent, this new European Regional Development Fund-subsidised programme will help boost your business through research and development support that will help you launch new products and services.
The KEEP+ team is delighted to announce the launch of KEEP+ phase II.
We have received further funding and would love to hear from innovative SMEs.
"KEEP+ has provided valuable self-assessment within our SME and allowed us to nurture the positive aspects of the business while also improving the weaker elements. Having the KEEP+ project to focus efforts has allowed us to create methods and protocols to try and improve our knowledge transfer that would not be otherwise possible."
KEEP+ will be able to help your business achieve its goals for growth by helping you overcome barriers to innovation.
By partnering with Anglia Ruskin University, KEEP+ will provide your small to medium sized enterprise (SME) with a flexible programme that will help you innovate. KEEP+ is designed to help your company:
The programme offers two interventions: Knowledge Exchange and Embed Partnerships (KEEPs) and Research and Innovation Collaborations (RICs).
To qualify for KEEP+ funding you must be a small to medium sized enterprise (SME). To qualify as an SME your business must satisfy all of the following criteria.
Being a KEEP+ Associate on a Knowledge Exchange and Embed Partnership (KEEP+) project is a great opportunity to put your graduate skills to use and to fast-track your career.
To register your interest in future opportunities, please send your CV, plus an indication of what job roles you are seeking (eg Graduate seeking Electronics Engineering Role) to knowledge@aru.ac.uk
