About digital innovation support

The Centre for Digital Innovation (CDI) aims to foster collaboration between industries and sectors to drive the region’s digital innovation ambitions.

CDI is a supercluster of digital expertise and innovation. Through it, we work with university, further education and industry partners to make digital technology, research and facilities available to small and medium-sized businesses.

We support organisations to explore the transformative potential of:

  • artificial intelligence (AI)
  • cyber security
  • industrial digitalisation
  • immersive technology

Costs

Working with CDI is free. The programme is funded by Innovate UK, so there’s no cost to access our workshops and services.
