College Local Innovation Centres
The College Local Innovation Centres or “CLIC” will establish specialised Innovation Centres aligned with regional economic priorities, dedicated to driving digital innovation and productivity across the region.
The 12-month pilot project, funded by the Innovate UK Further Education Innovation Fund, will help businesses across the Glasgow City Region gain access to comprehensive support and guidance on embedding and embracing digital technologies within their organisations.
Support will range from advisory services to workforce and skills development, as well as hands-on assistance in adopting new technologies, processes, and business models.
