January 7th 2011 - On Monday, January 10, the Technology Strategy Board will launch a call for feasibility studies in the area of Digital Systems and another for Technology-Inspired Innovation. These calls will award up to £25,000 for feasibility studies in these areas which last for three months or less. The awards are limited to small and micro businesses and there is a good chance of success for serious applications.

A number of Knowledge Transfer Networks are supporting this call by hosting an information day for prospective applicants in London on January 13. This free event is designed to discuss the content of the calls and to generate ideas.

The event is hosted by the Digital Communications, Digital Systems and Electronics, Sensors and Photonics Knowledge transfer networks and will feature speakers from the Technology Strategy Board describing what they are looking for in applications. There will also be the opportunity for you to have one-to-one discussions with Technology Strategy Board representatives to discuss your ideas.
