TWI has been running the Materials Integrity Technology Transfer (MITT) programme, providing fully funded business support for small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) in the Tees Valley region.
Any SME who takes part gains access to all of TWI’s resources with ALL of the cost paid for by TVCA and ERDF, this can be up to £13,000 of support fully paid for by regional funding.
We provide authoritative and impartial expert advice in engineering, materials, joining technologies and inspection to help companies overcome internal and external barriers.
We have already helped over 70 companies, safeguarding more than 500 jobs and helped create 19 new positions. The programme has assisted with 9 new products reaching the market and 19 new products for companies in the Tees Valley.
The programme is open to companies in the Tees Valley area (Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, and Stockton-on-Tees) who employ less than 250 people
Although the programme due to come to an end in the next few weeks, we still have space to help five more companies on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you would like help in overcoming technical barriers to success, don’t delay, please contact the MITT team at mitt@twi.co.uk.
