Innovation & Technology Service 

We provide practical innovation and technology support to small businesses and the wider community. In 2007 we secured funding from the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI) to deliver our services not only to Blackburn with Darwen but to the wider Pennine Lancashire area under the banner of No Limits.

No Limits is the central gateway to a range of successful support projects. Whether you're looking for ways to find out more about working for yourself, you've got a business idea that you want to take further or you're an established business that's looking to grow, No Limits can help.

Call 0800 612 2029 or visit the website www.no-limits.org.uk to find out more.

Eureka is the innovation & technology support strand of No Limits.  The project will operate for until March 2011.  Eligible businesses, start ups and individuals will be supported to develop and be more competitive through the effective exploitation of technology and innovation.  The Innovation & Technology Service is the lead delivery body for Eureka but works closely with a wide range of partners across Pennine Lancashire to ensure that an integrated and comprehensive support service is available.

Our experienced team is able to provide assistance ranging from an initial enquiry through to in depth support with project implementation. We have many contacts across the wide field of public and private sectors and can assist in finding the most appropriate help for your requirements.
