海角直播 powers post-Covid bounce-back for Tees Valley business

海角直播 is calling for Tees Valley businesses to come forward and take advantage of support and expertise that has so far helped hundreds of businesses and individuals bounce back from the pandemic and put their growth on the fast track.

Over the past year, 海角直播鈥檚 Covid-19 support has seen it help 222 small and medium sized businesses with 339 projects, launch 11 new businesses, work with a total of 34 start-ups, and prepare 26 budding entrepreneurs through its Microbiz Academy programme. The University also matched 156 graduate interns with work in Tees Valley businesses and provided digital skills training for 276 people.

After recruiting the equivalent of 420 full-time apprentices the University now has over1,000 apprentices on programmes, bucking a national trend which has seen a fall in numbers.

Now, as we start to exit lockdown, 海角直播鈥檚 Pro Vice-Chancellor for Enterprise and Business Engagement, Professor Jane Turner OBE DL is encouraging more businesses across the region to work with the University.

鈥淭he pandemic has brought upheaval, disruption and change for every organisation and every sector of the economy.

It also highlights the funded programmes and initiatives available for businesses in each of these areas.

鈥淥ur goal is to help even more businesses in the year ahead, and the new facilities we have created on campus through lockdown will also be key to doing this,鈥� added Professor Turner.

鈥淥ur new University Enterprise Zone on our Middlesbrough campus provides an exciting environment for new and growing companies, with co-working space, meeting rooms, start-up units and games studios.

鈥淎 ground-breaking Industrial Digitalisation Technology Centre will offer local businesses access to 鈥渟erious play鈥� facilities, including Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, modelling, simulation and sensor technology, to explore Industry 4.0 technologies and embark on development projects with academic support.
