The RISE project was established to provide an open door for Sussex-based small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to access support from two of their main local research and innovation-led universities: University of Brighton and University of Sussex.
RISE shared a wealth of knowledge and expertise from the universities of Brighton and Sussex to support West Sussex-based businesses to meet economic challenges and adapt to shifting market conditions.
RISE – Research and Innovation in Sussex Excellence – was a completely free-of-charge innovation service for eligible businesses due to funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), with support from West Sussex County Council and the West Sussex District and Borough Councils.
