Operators of the forthcoming Innovation Central building in Darlington have chosen the North East BIC to run a programme of events to help businesses.
Featuring monthly physical events and one-to-one advice sessions, the Innovation Programme will be accessible to tenants onsite and those across the town in a move the operators say aims to ignite the innovative potential of the entire borough. The scheme is due to launch in October when the £8m Innovation Central opens its doors. Building work is still underway on the four storey location that will feature 45 Grade A offices and five labs, all designed as flexible spaces where businesses can grow.
Paul McEldon, CEO at the BIC, which runs the nearby Business Central site as well as business parks in Sunderland and Washington, said: "The development of Innovation Central is about more than simply creating new commercial space. It’s about creating the creative, collaborative and supportive environment where today’s innovators can truly thrive.
