Channel Programme CHAIN project activities in Devon

North Devon+, Devon & Cornwall Business Council, Isle of Wight Economic Partnership and Tamar Scirnce Park are all partners in the CHAIN (Channel Innovation Network) Project. This 14 month project brings together 10 economic development organisations across the UK, Brittany and Normandy to share experiences and best practices in supporting growing and innovative businesses in order to inform future support programmes. The project is part funded by the Interreg IVA France (Channel) – England cross-border European co-operation programme.

In February, a delegation from the UK went to visit their partners in France, including the Agence de Developpement Industriel du Tregor, Association Rennes Atalante, inno TSD – CAP ENTREPRISES, PST Le Havre, Synergia and Zoopole Developpement, and the French are due to reciprocate the visit by coming to Devon in April.
