Calling all digital businesses

Digital Lincolnshire

Business Lincolnshire are looking to shine a light on the digital sector in Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland to celebrate the diverse range of digital and tech businesses, open up new opportunities for collaboration and showcase the best of the sector to attract and retain talent.

You can take part in this initiative by adding your business to a digital supplier directory from which there will be developed a range of online assets such as a Digital Lincolnshire brochure, as well as promoting success stories, business profiles and coverage of leading initiatives.

You will also be part of an expanding digital sector network and planned programme of events. The first step to get involved is completing a simple Expression of Interest form here.


Businesses are urged to act now to benefit from free flood surveys and fully funded follow up support

The Flood Innovation Centre is urging local businesses to take action to better protect their premises, employees and other assets against the risk of flooding by requesting a free flood survey and follow-up support before it’s too late.

The message from the team at the Flood Innovation Centre, which is part of the University of Hull but is funded to provide support to eligible Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in several areas of the country, is that the funding won’t be around forever. Eligible businesses are rapidly running out of time to take advantage of the funding that’s on offer because it comes from European Regional Development Fund and is only available for a few more months.

To find out more about the fully funded support on offer, contact the Flood Innovation Centre by telephoning 01482 462275, emailing flic@hull.ac.uk or completing the online registration form at www.floodinnovation.co.uk/register.
