The Business School is running a series of themed networking events aiming to encourage innovative thinking, which will begin in September.

These events, which are organised together with EY Breakthrough Incentives, will consider a range of topics including research and development, grant applications and tax, sustainable finance, utilising breakthrough technologies and how to generate and maintain innovative business ecosystems, with each session focusing on one area.

Marcus Atkinson, External Engagement Manager at the Business School said: “It’s important we open the doors of our buildings so we can talk and learn from the communities we serve. 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.”
