LLDC has carefully considered its requirements to deliver the ‘Future Industries Demonstrator’, which is funded by HM Shared Prosperity Fund and must be delivered by March 2025. Specifically, LLDC have a need to enable Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) who are selected through our open innovation challenge call out to test and prove their products are viable in the local market and suitable for supply chains and/or consumers. Whilst generic business support and business growth support is available widely in the marketplace, this programme requires highly specific expertise to support the development of ‘innovation trial plans’ to enable early-stage innovation products and services to move from early ‘minimum viable product’ to full scale, implementation and technology deployment within supply chains and direct to consumers, specifically in the local market around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The programme must be delivered at speed to meet the timelines of the funder.
