We’re very passionate about supporting all members of our #HospitalityFamily and celebrating our local talent and expertise. And as such, our Sussex branch are delighted to bring you this introductory session to RISE.

Research and Innovation in Sussex Excellence RISE is an exciting, fully funded unique project to support businesses in West Sussex and the Coast to Capital LEP area to easily access university expertise to unlock their innovation potential.

Join this free 40-minute ‘Introductory Webinar’ to learn more about RISE and how it can support your hospitality business to innovate and grow.  Innovation Advisor Zoe Webb will provide insights into their programme of engaging masterclasses, webinars and workshops and how these will develop your knowledge and build your capability with an engaging suite of sessions designed specifically for our sector. There will also be some expert sessions run in partnership with IoH Sussex to look out for too!

In this short webinar, you will also learn about their ‘innovation call’ to local SMEs in the hospitality, tourism and visitor economy sector, which offers access to up to £5000 of funding to unlock expertise from either Brighton or Sussex University to explore your ideas and work directly on your innovation project. There is no match or payback required.

Zoe will also look at how to book a 1:2:1 innovation audit, and how to get the most from the RISE portal, which has knowledge sections with bespoke webinars, toolkits, how-to guides and spaces to connect with like-minded innovators.
