InCrops Project

Based at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, the InCrops Enterprise Hub is a European funded, not for profit company, with a partnership of research, public sector and corporate partners who all work collaboratively to develop the commercial potential of innovative crops.

Working within the theme of low carbon economic growth, the InCrops Enterprise Hub is specially designed to stimulate the economy in the area of green innovation and green technology development - an important sector for the future development of the UK.

As a virtual network, the vision for InCrops is to commercialise research expertise in innovative non-food crop markets and to build upon an alternative and non-food crops strategy through specialist business support to SMEs, micro-businesses, entrepreneurs and new company registrations.

How we can help you:

If you are an SME, a new start-up business or an entrepreneur looking to start a new business, then we can offer you up to 14 hours of free specialist business support and consultancy from both the InCrops team and the InCrops partnership. This support can include:

- confidential discussion of initial ideas
- access to production development support
- access to finance, investment and public sector support
- access to the knowledge base through collaborative industry-led projects with our academic partners
- networking and partnership development support
- promotion of natural and renewable technologies into low carbon economy

All of our Business Innovation Managers hold expertise in one or more sector areas and are there to offer advice and guidance on new opportunities and commercialisation right through to product development.
