BGU's LORIC helping small businesses prototype new products
BGU’s Lincolnshire Open Research and Innovation Centre (LORIC) is organising a free prototyping event for small and medium companies next week. The event, which will be run by the Data Place, will help participants come up with ideas for new products and services, assess their viability, then come up with a 'prototype' to bring to market. It's a great opportunity for any company, including start-ups, that is looking to make a real change in their chosen industry or field. No special skills are needed, any company looking to brainstorm new ideas for projects and services is welcome. Katya Bozukova, Open Research Fellow at LORIC, explains how the day will work: “The trainers from the Data Place will take you through a complete process of uncovering needs and opportunities, generating ideas and building prototypes. “This is a hands-on workshop with a bit of theory; you will not only be supported in creating a potential product or service but you’ll also learn some principles and techniques to apply to future projects.” The free event will be held in the LORIC building on 23 Newport on Thursday 13 September. Places are limited, and are given on a first-come, first-serve basis. For more information and to book your place, please visit the event page. -

BGU Project Seeks to Help Local Businesses Succeed by Becoming Disability Confident
Bishop Grosseteste University's (BGU) Business Inspiration Project – based at BGU’s Lincolnshire Open Research and Innovation Centre (LORIC) – has worked hard with a series of key partners, including Jobcentre Plus, the Shaw Trust and East Lindsey District Council to put on an event to assist small businesses in meeting skills shortages by diversifying their workforce. Succeeding in business is your top priority. So finding the best people is essential. With unemployment at its lowest since the 1970s and skills shortages across most sectors, for many businesses recruitment is becoming ever more challenging. In East Lindsey District alone there are close to 8000 unemployed people with some form of disability. As an employer based in the region, this event is designed to help you understand what support and assistance is out there to become part of the solution to employ people with a disability who are unemployed. Being Disability Confident is about recruiting and retaining disabled people and people with health conditions for their skills and talent. By becoming Disability Confident you could discover someone your business just can’t do without. The event will provide expert advice and signposting to information available to a business, helping them to become disability aware. There will also be some inspiring talks from small and medium sized local businesses who have successfully recruited individuals with a disability, demonstrating how this has positively impacted their business. Join the Business Inspiration Team on the 9th of October to: Hear Expert Advice - What support is available to you as a business Understand how to make your business more disability aware Hear from Local Employers and Employees Learn about the Small Employer Offer including potential Small Employer Payment The event will begin at 8am at The Priory Hotel in Louth.
