this is for SE England, but i don't think London is included. gllug
has various people based outside london so it might provide an
opportunity for someone. <br>
in theory the idea comes from an academic.<br>
<br>
i can put you in touch with various specialists here at UoW, but you
have the information and can talk to other universities.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have an idea and a company based in
South East of
England is willing to work on that idea, the SME can get availed
of either
£4000/£8000 as ‘Innovation voucher’ to help developing the idea
into a business
/ proof of concept stage. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">NOTE:
Application
has to be MADE by SME directly (not by the staff of UoW). <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I will be able to offer my help to understand
how the SEEDA
works (if any of the academic staffs needs). Please refer to the
following link
for further info. Also, the application form and guidance note
for SEEDA has
been attached for your information.<o:p></o:p></p>
