Growth Accelerator Programme

The CEO Club

Running a business can be a very lonely experience, and many owner managers have no-one that they can talk to about business issues and problems. That’s where action learning comes in; it’s sometimes called peer to peer learning, and that’s exactly what it is – a group of business executives coming together on a regular basis to work on and resolve challenges their businesses are facing. Through sharing experience, group members support each other and develop enhanced leadership skills which they can bring back into their business. The CEO Club will meet monthly at Innovation Centre. If you are interested in participating, or would like to learn more please contact the Innovation Centre.

Business Advice Clinics

Do you have a burning business issue that you need impartial professional advice on? Then book a place at one of our fortnightly clinics delivered by local Medway professional services businesses. You'll need to let us know the nature of your problem so that we can match you to the best advice and time slot. You'll get up to 45 minutes with one of our experts. Clinics are supported by a number of local professionals, including Reeves, Furley Page, Lloyds TSB and EMC.

Innovation Vouchers

Could your business use up to £5,000 to develop innovative solutions to help accelerate business growth?

Innovation Centre Medway, in collaboration with University of Greenwich and Medway Council, is delivering a local Innovation Voucher Programme that could support your company's business growth objectives.

The programme aims to help Medway based small enterprises establish links with the University to access knowledge and expertise. The vouchers can be used for knowledge transfer projects that support the delivery of innovative solutions within your business.

In the first round (now closed for applications) 8 local businesses received vouchers to work with four of the Universities Schools. A further round is envisaged for mid 2013. Companies across Kent will be eligible to apply. Please bookmark this page and revisit it to view updated information
