The programme has attracted PS4.1M of ERDF funding and was approved in November 2019 and finishes in June 2022 and. Specifically, the BIG Productivity programme aims to: * invest in growth projects brought forward by innovative, ambitious and well-managed Cornish based businesses; * work in collaboration with partner institutions to enable local SMEs gain access to national and global markets; * provide a targeted advisory service tailored to support service to work across key sectors and support enterprises with potential to grow.
