Invest NI’s Collaborative Network programme supports companies working together for a common business benefit. This potentially involves engaging with other partners including, but not limited to, academia and training providers.

Evidence suggests that working collaboratively may improve your company’s efficiency, market position and profitability, often resulting in new products or processes.

Common themes for collaboration include:

• training
• marketing
• logistics
• sales
• research and development

Who is eligible?

The network must consist of at least four NI-based companies, but can also include other stakeholders, both within NI and beyond.
