Marine-i 2 builds on the initial Marine-i project and provides business support around innovation for Cornish marine tech businesses. The project supports new business-led research, development and innovation (RD&I), using a range of activities to help businesses grow. Support is delivered through a wide programme of activities which follow a process of identifying key external drivers, defining specific challenges that businesses can address, establishing mechanisms for both collaborative and individual business innovation and utilising the existing knowledge based assets and support organisations to support knowledge exchange.
