YABA are delighted to welcome aboard our latest sponsor, RTC North, who provide innovation and growth services across the North of England.
Funded by Innovate UK, RTC North are delivering a business support package to ambitious, high growth-potential SMEs which aims to support and sustain innovative SMEs through the current COVID-19 challenges and the resulting longer-term economic impact.
So what does ‘innovation’ mean? Very simply it involves the creation, development and implementation of a new product, process or service. Or in other words, innovation involves actions many business owners are taking every single day to keep their business competitive.
RTC North’s experienced Innovation and Growth Specialists will provide innovation and advisory services of between 5 and 12 days over a 6 – 12 month period to eligible businesses, with advisors acting as a critical friend and providing practical advice.
Advice can encompass issues such as identifying and securing new clients, client retention and accessing new markets, funding and finance opportunities, removing unnecessary business costs, R&D and innovation planning, reviewing/revising and implementing business models to achieve growth, and supply chain review and development.
Andy Taylor, Yorkshire Team Leader commented,
“The north is a hotbed of innovation and many prominent Asian businesses are leading the way. We are working in a time where business owners need someone to turn to for practical advice, and that’s exactly what we’re here for. We are delighted to be given the opportunity to sponsor YABA, and we are looking forward to working closely with many members of the YABA community.”
Businesses wanting to find out more about how RTC North can help are invited to attend our YABA webinar at 1100 on 15th October when the RTC North team will be explaining how they can assist our members to access innovation support.
