Inventya, is partnering with HOST, the Home of Skills & Technology in MediaCity, to provide diverse SMEs and start-up businesses with access to funding, commercialisation and internationalisation support to accelerate growth and innovation.

Innovation management consultancy Inventya is HOST’s exclusive partner for Innovate UK EDGE services and specialist R&D tax credit advice across its business growth programmes, including FreelanceHER, the Your Tech series and IN4 Access.

Innovation hub HOST, operated by IN4 Group, recently collaborated with Inventya to deliver the Fund Your Tech series, which provided businesses with tailored information and training on how to successfully receive grant funding. They also spoke at HOST’s Prepare to Raise event, advising businesses on how to prepare themselves for equity investment.

Inventya’s clients will also benefit from accessing HOST’s programmes and labs to boost their opportunities, further growing the innovation ecosystem collaboratively across Greater Manchester.

As one of the fastest-growing technology hubs in Europe, Manchester has an economy worth an estimated £5 billion, employing 58,000 people in more than 10,000 businesses. While the North West has the highest creative cluster outside of London.

With a presence in the UK, Ireland and India, Inventya is committed to delivering tangible success and social, environmental and economic impact. It strategically links market knowledge, technology and finance through a range of tailored services that deliver impact and add value to their clients.
