The University of Northampton is hosting a special event on free funding and support available to transport companies and associated supply chain businesses in Northamptonshire.

'Funding4Transport' takes place on Monday 14 December, from 6-8pm at the University's Sunley Management Centre, Park Campus.

Following a buffet, representatives of The University of Northampton and the Transport Innovation Network will meet with attendees and highlight two specific schemes offering cash to companies in the sector.

John Jones, Head of Business and Commercial Services (Knowledge Exchange) at The University of Northampton, said: "It's not often companies get something for nothing, but in this case it's true.

"Money is available to transport companies and their partners right now. All eligible businesses need to do is work with The University of Northampton on a strategic project and they could receive between £1,000 to £10,000 of Transport Innovation Network money."

Led by The University of Northampton's Knowledge Exchange, this initiative is being supported by the Transport Innovation Network, which aims to support the success of transport-oriented businesses within the region.
