The Keele Research and Innovation Support Programme (KRISP) has been designed to support businesses that are thinking about, or are currently in the process of, developing a new product, process or service. By providing academic expertise and dedicated human resource we can deliver the expertise, focus and processes that will help your business innovate and grow. The programme is fully-funded and open to small-to-medium sized UK businesses in the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire area.

With the programme coming to a close in May 2019 we are hosting an event to celebrate the success of the programme and reveal where we're going next in supporting innovation in local business. Since the project began in 2017 KRISP has helped over 140 local SMEs in a diverse range of sectors. Keele University students have also benefited with over 220 being paired with the businesses working as Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) Associates building their skills and knowledge in the industry.

Places are free but are strictly limited and are therefore being allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.  For more information, please click the 'Register now' button below.
