Description

Innovate UK ICURe Discover is part-time market discovery programme for researchers and technicians, offering up to £2,500 of support and a clear onward pathway to ICURe Explore.

This programme aims to enhance market awareness and deepen the understanding of potential technology applications.

Our part-time online market discovery programme is developed using the lean startup methodology, which applies the scientific method (hypothesise, test, learn) to business ideas. Participants will learn how to use this approach to gauge their potential customers’ opinions about their idea, product, or service. This programme is suitable for participants looking to explore the potential of their early-stage projects or those who require a part-time commitment for market discovery.
