The iD Centre, Derby's dedicated rail and technology business
incubation facility, is holding a Summer Open Day to show local
businesses how incubation centres can help new and fledgling
companies.
The event, which is taking place on Thursday 9 June at the iD
Centre, on London Road in Derby (12.00pm - 2.30pm), will provide
local businesses with the opportunity to look around the centre and
find out more about the range of business support services that are
on offer.
At the event, guests will be invited to enjoy lunch before going
on a guided tour of the centre and its facilities. Later, guests
will have the opportunity to explore the centre at their leisure
and talk to some of current tenants about how the iD Centre has
helped with the development of their businesses.
The iD Centre is much more than simply office space, it is a
business incubation centre, which offers a number of benefits for
small and developing businesses. This includes bespoke, practical
business support, subsidised rental costs, fully furnished office
space with data and telephony systems, meeting and conference
facilities and much more.
Commenting on the Open Day, Louise Jones, centre manager at the
iD Centre said:
"Business incubation offers new and developing businesses
much-needed support during their formative years and the iD Centre
is one of the most successful facilities of its kind in the
region.
"Our Open Day is an excellent opportunity to introduce people to
the iD Centre and the idea of business incubation. Guests will be
able to look around the centre and facilities and meet some of our
current tenants, which we hope will give them a better idea of what
it's like to operate a business from here."
The iD Centre is a fully serviced business incubation facility
specially for technology-based and engineering businesses, with 32
fully furnished office units ranging from 105 sq ft to 438 sq
ft.
All units have a staffed reception, meeting rooms with video
conferencing facility, kitchen facilities, subsidised restaurant,
free parking and a 360-degree business incubation support package.
The iD Centre is supported by the EDRF, a programme, which provides
funding to economic regeneration schemes and organisations
regionally.
