Make the most of uxplore offer before it ends in June

Small businesses have been urged to make the most of the uxplore offer, an ERDF-funded project led by Coventry University and delivered in partnership with CWLEP Growth Hub and the C&W Chamber of Commerce, at the Digital Hub at Coventry University Technology Park in the final two months of the scheme. 

Digital and creative businesses can use the space and facilities at the Hub, and tap to the expertise at hand, for free (fully-funded by ERDF) under the uxplore project.  

The newly built £1.2m Digital Hub includes state of the art communications infrastructure, co-working and collaboration spaces and a technical development area and demonstration space. It offers entrepreneurs access to conference and meeting rooms​ and the opportunity to use 5G and pursue their Digital Transformation. A Vodaphone technician is based there so is invariably on site to advise. 

This fantastic opportunity for small businesses will not be around forever though as the project will cease in June when the European Regional Development Fund backing expires.

Chloe Townley, Business Innovation Development Manager at Coventry University, said: “We just want all businesses to know that all this free support is there for them to take advantage of until June. 

“A lot of SMEs might think that what we offer here is not relevant to them. but it is absolutely part of the future. A lot of businesses have come here and then left the project with new, innovative ideas that they will take forward to help their businesses evolve and grow.”
