What do we do?

The TSC is a Community Interest Company that enables innovation and growth in manufacturing, engineering, technology and health tech companies by providing support, connections, opportunities, grants and finance.

Grants & Funded Support

We will help you to find the grants and fully funded support available. Universities, Growth Hubs, catapults etc. offer fully funded projects as well as innovation, research and knowledge partnerships designed to help you grow your business, become more efficient, achieve Net Zero. etc. 

Strategy and Restructure

We help companies with their financial strategy and re-structuring for growth. It is through bold innovative thinking that businesses grow and meet their ESG goals such as achieving net zero. Major changes (such as digitisation) need financing and we will find the right solution for you.

New Opportunities

Are you looking for new customers, new markets or new business opportunities? We have helped various manufacturing, life-sciences and technology firms to find new clients and enter new markets. We regularly share challenges and business opportunities with our members.

How we work

The Technology Supply Chain is different to other membership organisations. We proactively work with our members, partners and patrons to help them grow.

Discovery Meeting

TSC membership starts with a discovery meeting. During this, we will find out more about your business, your goals and the support you require. We then connect you with the right grants, fully funded support and new opportunities for you.  We also support you with grant applications.

Diagnosis and Prescription

The next step on your growth journey is for the team to diagnose your barriers to growth and prescribe solutions. By identifying and addressing them, your growth is assured. Your discovery meeting helps you to cut costs, get grants and innovatve. This step is about super-charging growth in your business.

Events

We organise a wide range of events from small roundtables and political dinners through well-attended workshops to sold-out rugby lunches with over 400 business leaders from the region. Our events focus on innovation and allow members to meet and uncover new opportunties.
