Deputy Leader of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, and Cabinet Member for Business, Culture and Heritage, Cllr Graham Middleton, said:
“This event promises to be even better than the first and I would encourage anyone who has a small business in west Norfolk, or is thinking about starting one, to come along and meet us.
“Small businesses are at the heart of the west Norfolk economy: more than 98% of our companies are small businesses. We know there is a need to support early-stage business growth to further grow the business base in West Norfolk; helping them to succeed helps the borough to succeed and people to thrive. This event is all about making sure they have the support they need.”
Julian Munson, Head of Enterprise Zones and Innovation at New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) said:
“I am delighted that the Connected Innovation Programme, which joins up the innovation ecosystem across Norfolk and Suffolk, has been able to support King’s Lynn Innovation Centre based at our Nar Ouse Enterprise Zone Business Park. This event will simplify the business support and innovation funding landscape for businesses in the region.”
There will also be an opportunity to find out more about exciting developments in King’s Lynn, including plans for the Nar Ouse Business Park, proposals for an Innovation and Collaboration Incubator and how KLIC can help businesses by offering meeting spaces, hotdesking, co-working and more.
