The Innovation SuperNetwork is a programme of activity designed to strengthen the North East economy by bringing people together to generate fresh ideas, new market opportunities and knowledge.
As a ‘network of networks’, the SuperNetwork brings together over 50 partners and 5000+ businesses to increase innovation, collaboration and business growth in the North East through projects including VentureFest North East, funding workshops and innovation challenges.
The SuperNetwork is strategically aligned to the North East LEP and is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund as part of the Catalysing Innovation in North East Clusters project.
