Recycling is good business – an IiB ‘Turning Your Business Green’ workshop in action

Your business starts with an idea.  What do you do when you think up or come across an idea? Click here to see how idea-friendly you are.

The Ideas into Business (IiB) project helps individuals and existing businesses generate new ideas and to turn them into commercial success.  IiB offers support through mentoring and a programme of events and interactive workshops to encourage you to keep your eyes and ears open to new ideas and new approaches.  Sign up for a confidential, explanatory session with one of our trained Innovation Coaches who will suggest the right next step for you and your business.

Alternatively, you could book on to one of our workshops for a fresh look at your business, or business idea.  We offer workshops for every stage, whether you’ve never thought about running a business before, you’re just starting up or you’re looking to expand your existing business.  Click on the links below to see the full range of workshops.
