We all know that West Yorkshire has some great universities. What is less well known is that they are not just academic institutions but also offer a range of business support services. Universities want to help small businesses with research, innovation, training, funding and more.
Our aim is to help build mutually beneficial partnerships by connecting academics and universities with small business owners.
