EU funding opportunities free support and advice available!

With European Union funding currently proving crucial to UK organisations, companies in the agri-tech sector are being offered advice straight from the horses mouth at a free advice day to be held on 18th March.

The event, organised by the IATC (International Agri-Technology Centre), will give agri-tech businesses working across the food and non-food supply chain, the chance to talk in detail with Xenia Tsitiridou from West Midlands European Service.

Paula Twinn, Manager at the IATC says, If you are thinking about applying for European Union funding, then this event is an opportunity not to be missed. There will be one to one advice sessions, where Xenia will be available for 1 hour slots, to answer your questions, identify where your organisation can develop proposals, give advice on the European Union in Brussels and so on. It is a time-efficient way for businesses to make decisions about whether EU funding is worth pursuing for them.

In addition to Xenia Tsitridou, IATCs representative in Brussels, representatives from the IATC will be on hand to offer a wide range of targeted support to help agri-tech businesses develop their international business potential.

Spaces are limited at this event, and they tend to get taken up quickly, so we would advise early booking, Paula Twinn continues. If you are unable to attend this event, however, please do get in touch with us at the IATC and we will see if there are any other ways we can help you.

The event is being held on Friday 18th March 2011 at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire. If you would like more information, or to register, please contact Paula Twinn paulat@iatc.org
or telephone 02476 323960.

The International Agri-technology Centre, based in Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, is contracted by UK Trade & Investment to promote and support the UKs agri-technology industry and develop its international trade potential.
