Support that boosts business for Baltic businesses

Support that boosts business for Baltic businesses

It’s no secret that businesses in the Baltic Triangle are some of the most innovative and fastest growing in Liverpool.

You’re literally driving our start-up and scale-up economy. That’s incredibly important for the City Region and its economy as a whole, so we want to help you keep doing what you’re doing.

Here’s a quick pitch:

If you’ve got an innovative digital or creative idea, product or service, we can use emerging tech to help you get it off the ground, develop it and launch it through free expert support and the possibility of grant funding.

Business support is hardly the most electrifying of subjects. We like to think Activate is a bit different, though.

The low-down

We can help you work out if your idea for a product or service is going to make money, work out if it’s technically feasible and commercialise it. Or we can help you work out how to build your idea or an internal business technology a reality, test it and launch it.

We create bespoke plans of one-to-one support, workshops and grants depending on what you need. We use artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual and augmented realities, big, data open data, high-performance computing, cloud computing and cognitive computing to help your business.
