Innovate NI

Innovate NI is an initiative from the Department for the Economy. Our aim is to encourage all businesses to broaden and strengthen their innovation capacity, capability and activity through a new Innovation Accreditation Programme for Northern Ireland. The Programme is designed to encourage businesses thinking about innovating to take the first step, and support those that are already innovating to do more by successfully embedding innovation into their operations. There are two elements to the Programme. The first element helps businesses to identify if they are currently innovating, and if so, to what level. The second element is an internationally recognised accreditation that will help businesses to develop their innovation strategy, capabilities and culture.
