The 天美传媒影视 Business School together with EY Breakthrough Incentives have launched an Innovation Network aimed at local businesses and entrepreneurs.
The network is a new hub that offers innovation ideas, practical support, and networking opportunities to both regional and local start-ups and small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
Beginning in September 2022, local businesses and entrepreneurs are invited to join a series of themed networking events designed to share innovative thinking, hosted at the Business School at the 天美传媒影视 campus at Falmer, Brighton.
Organised collaboratively between and the Business School, networking events will cover a range of topics such as research and development, grant applications and tax, sustainable finance, the harnessing of new technologies and how to generate and maintain innovative business ecosystems. Each session focusses on specific topics to address business interests and challenges.
Speaking on the collaboration, Ed Chinn, Associate Director at EY Breakthrough Incentives said:

We’ve all had a tough couple of years and now it’s time to reconnect, reboot and reenergise our creative selves. With the wealth of innovative talent and expertise all around us, the Sussex Innovation Network fosters an environment where valuable connections are made, new practices are learnt, and fresh concepts created that inspire and add value.”
