As part of the ongoing drive to simplify business support services throughout the region, and indeed Europe, innovation services to business are being streamlined. The Euro Info Centre Network, The IRC Network and elements of the Framework Seven (FP7) strands are being delivered under a new brand name.
The new name for this network is the Enterprise Europe Network and it is funded to provide support until 2013.
IRC North-Nord Manche has now closed
We at RTC North are continuing our work within the new programme, but in partnership with Yorkshire Forward, so we now provide technology transfer and FP7 support and network access for companies in Yorkshire and Humberside.
In the North East, One North East chose to bid with Cenamps (part of the Centre for Process Improvement) as their partner for the region. A link to the new regional partner website for the North East will appear here shortly.
In the North West your partner for the new service, Business Support Solutions, remains unchanged.
Similarly in France, although the boundaries are changing slightly across the Nord Manche area, the service will continue unchanged, your current partners of Oseo Anvar and ARIST will continue to support your needs.
In the mean time you can still use this site to search the technology database, it will be updated as ususal and your expressions of interest will be forwarded to the relevant person(s) for the next few weeks to ensure seamless access in the transition period.
The consortium thanks you for your support over the last four years, we hope to see you again under our new branding!
