Innovation is an essential part of any business, but it can be difficult to carve out the time to explore innovative ideas while juggling the day-to-day running of a company.

In a pioneering new project, the 海角乱伦 will play host to a three-day innovation design sprint, to allow business leaders to explore and ultimately progress innovation projects.

Run by 海角乱伦 Business School鈥檚 there will be several cohorts that interested businesses can join, with the first sessions taking place on 26, 27 and 28 February. The CSI is designed to allow businesses access to academic expertise to help shape their projects, and the design sprint will build upon this partnership approach by connecting the University鈥檚 experts with participants in the event.

The programme will be delivered in partnership with , and hosted on the University鈥檚 Fredrick Road campus.

Over the three days, participants will get the chance to understand the innovation process, and will be equipped with tools to analyse the markets and identify opportunities. By the final day, all participants will be connected with the expertise to help apply their innovation idea, as well as identify potential routes for additional funding.

Dr Ann Mulhaney, Associate Professor at 海角乱伦 Business School, commented: 鈥淭his is a great opportunity for businesses in the Greater Manchester region to explore ideas, aided by our expert team of consultants and commercialisation specialists.
