All RISE members and ‘Friends of RISE’ receive our regular e-newsletter. Sign up to get this delivered directly to your inbox… in the meantime here is our first edition.

Our e-newsletter gives you updates on the project’s news and upcoming events and other interesting ‘titbits’ from the world of innovation and local SME business support.

It’s been a very busy quarter in the world of ‘RISE’. In September 2021 we had the ‘official’ delivery launch of the project with our RISE member area going live, RISE events, meeting our collaborating West Sussex local district council partners and attending many local business networking events to get the word out about the opportunities that RISE can offer to support local SMEs with innovation.

We also have had a good start to the sign up of local businesses and we have begun undertaking more detailed conversations through our Innovation Audits with members to help figure out how RISE can support them as they grow and innovate in 2022!

RISE is being led by the University of Brighton, in partnership with the University of Sussex (delivery partner) and West Sussex County Council (strategic partner).
