About Impacting Business by Design
Design and innovation support for SME's with great ideas
Impacting Business by Design is a £4.65 million programme that offers SME’s the opportunity to develop new and innovative products with a design-focused university.
De Montfort University has joined forces with Nottingham Trent University and Brunel University to create a specialist programme known as Impacting Business by Design (IBbD) – working with SME’s in England to develop and commercialise new product ideas and innovations.
Enhancing knowledge exchange within your organisation
The support for your design innovation projects and capability-development is only possible because of the Connecting Capability Fund (CCF) Grant from Research England. It aims to improve the knowledge exchange capabilities between academia and industry to improve the country's industrial competitiveness. IBbD hopes to aid in this knowledge exchange by embedding expertise from academia to industry for the purpose of successful product commercialisation.
