In the East Midlands, INSTILS, SolSTICE & ACTIS projects part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) have now closed due to the end of European Regional Development Funding. 

Medilink Midlands has supported hundreds of businesses over the 7 years of the ERDF business support programme, and we are proud to showcase some of our work and member successes here.

Through the INSTILS, SoLSTICE and ACTIS projects, companies were supported to fast-track their innovations, overcome innovation barriers, and speed up the development of novel technologies and services. Innovation Advisors were an additional impartial resource, with:
  • A dedicated team of sector specialist innovation advisors who provided 1-1 knowledge and advice
  • Business support and grant funding support for innovation and product development
  • Free-to-attend events, delivered by Medilink Midlands, to promote networking, collaboration and further innovation opportunities
