ICTE was an EU funded project designed to increase business productivity and sales through the use of online tools.

In partnership with The Open University, the project ran across the South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) area, offering grant funding, academic expertise and skilled graduate talent.

It was open to any eligible SME or start-up company that were looking to trade online with confidence, increase their cybersecurity, and gain unique insights from their data.

• Provided expert consultancy to 150 businesses
• Created 33 new jobs
• 79 products, processes or services
• 37 start-up companies
• Awarded 39 grants, totalling £83,000
