Overview

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, staying competitive requires businesses to innovate and adapt.

Navigating modern technology can be complex, but it is crucial for SMEs to expand in this digital era. Embracing advanced digital solutions opens new opportunities for business operations and growth, ensuring seamless access to information, efficient workflows, and robust security.

To support SMEs in North Wales, Ambition North Wales, funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, is launching a fully funded support programme.

The SME Connectivity Assessments project provides businesses with the guidance needed to integrate advanced wireless technologies, such as 5G, LoRaWAN, and WiFi networks, along with transformative solutions like Artificial Intelligence. By leveraging these technologies, businesses can enhance performance, increase productivity, optimise efficiency, and gain a competitive edge.

Objectives

Provide SMEs with access to advanced wireless technologies to overcome connectivity challenges and improve operational efficiency.

Enable faster internet speeds and reliable connectivity, facilitating seamless access to cloud-based applications and real-time collaboration.

Support businesses in streamlining operations through automation, remote monitoring, and smart device integration, leading to reduced downtime and cost savings.

Help businesses leverage advanced technologies like AI to deliver superior customer experiences, make data-driven decisions, and quickly adapt to market changes.

Stimulate innovation and economic development in North Wales by empowering SMEs with the tools and resources needed to thrive in the digital age.

*The SME Connectivity Assessments project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is being delivered in the counties of Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, and the Isle of Anglesey on behalf of Ambition North Wales by BIC Innovation Ltd in partnership with Intelligens Consulting. For more information please contact BIC Innovation at info@bic-innovation.com

We have a limited number of opportunities available and are expecting a strong response. The project will operate over a short timescale with a closing date of early Autumn 2024.

Please be advised that as this programme has limited availability, and applications will undergo careful assessment to ensure suitability. This initiative aims to curate a select group of participants, maximising the impact of each consultation. The insights from the initial consultations will be used to inform a high-level report with recommendations for future similar interventions for the benefit of North Wales businesses.
