Description
Sunderland Software City (SSC) clients are highlighting the need for innovation road-mapping support and these demands continue to grow. This service will help eligible SMEs:
• Understand how their current products and services can be sold into new sectors;
• Understand how their current markets and customers are evolving and how this may impact their business and/or business model;
• Develop appropriate messaging to support the deployment of new products or services into current or new marketplaces.
SSC require a consultant to deliver innovation road-mapping strategies to eligible SMES within the North East of England. The purpose of this is to help SMEs to understand how new and existing products and services can be brought to a new market.
