A PROJECT linking local businesses with Essex University has received a cash boost.
LocalisE, an alliance between the university and Colchester, Tendring and Ignite (Braintree) Local Enterprise Agencies, has won £16,200 of funding.
It scooped the cash after winning the Fast Forward Competition set by the Intellectual Property Office.
By offering support to local businesses, LocalisE will create new opportunities for these businesses and demonstrate the relevance of university research and expertise to everyday business.
