Description

Greentech Access to Innovation (Greentech A2i) empowers SMEs to develop and commercialise innovative low carbon technologies rapidly and at low cost and low risk to the enterprise. It does this by offering them a unique combination of advanced equipment and testing facilities, specialised technical expertise and business skills and networking opportunities in the low carbon and tech sectors.). The project commenced in October 2016 and is due to conclude in March 2020.
The project's outputs are:
- 120 enterprises engaged and supported
- 24 new enterprises supported
- 50 enterprises cooperating with research institutions
- 30 enterprises assisted to develop or launch new to the firm products or services
- Annual CO2e savings of 2800 tonnes.

London Agri-Food Innovation Clinic (LAFIC) will increase the number of London's Agri-Food Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) investing in research and development by offering an Innovation Strategy and Product Development Programme that will support them to develop innovative Products, Processes and Services (PPSs). The project commenced in January 2018 and is due to conclude in March 2021.
The projects outputs are:

- SMEs receiving support - 80
- SMEs receiving non-financial support - 80
- New SMEs supported - 16
- SMEs cooperating with research entities - 40
- SMEs supported to introduce new to the market products - 8
- SMEs supported to introduce new to the firm products - 16

We will seek to commission a 3-stage longitudinal evaluation which includes feedback and reflections from SME beneficiaries, academics, strategic partners and the delivery team, SME surveys and follow up interviews.

This would result in three reports per project (covering both projects and a strategic overview of LSBU's Innovation Support offer) delivered electronically to be reviewed by the project team (LSBU) and project funders (GLA & ERDF).
