Technology cash offer of £500,000

Technology groups in Northamptonshire are being encouraged to apply for grants worth up to £500,000.

The money is from a demonstration fund offered by East Midlands Development Agency to boost collaboration in technology transfer and new projects.

The cash targets projects that can be advanced, improved and made ready for commercial use faster.

Higher education institutes, research and technology organisations and public sector bodies are invited to apply.

The deadline to apply for the demonstration grants is the end of October.
