The Sussex Innovation Centre has led the way in delivering pioneering business incubation services and it provides the city's entrepreneurs with an outstanding business environment with dedicated advice and support to enable them to grow and succeed.
Scott Marshall, Assistant Director Economic Development & Regeneration, Brighton & Hove City Council
Developing new ideas, products or services requires a dynamic environment that is flexible and able to support experimentation and frequent changes of direction.
In contrast, large organisations often develop to be more biased towards consistency of delivery, a lack of flexibility and have complex structures that stifle new idea development.
Basing project groups independently at the Centre breaks these constraints and encourages more agile, entrepreneurial behaviour to flourish. The results are faster development, increased value, increased innovation as well as access to University of Sussex research and complementary skills.
In my experience, the best operation of its kind in the UK.
