IC3 Consultancy Scheme

Are you struggling to find the expertise, funding, and time to implement new ideas you have for your organisation? We have received funding via the North of Tyne’s Digital Business Pipeline to support organisations working in the construction sector or looking to work within the built environment to support them to work more digitally. This enables us to provide you with free consultancy/expertise from one or more of our academic team.

You could be looking to use digital technologies to address any of the key challenges being faced by the sector such as achieving net zero, providing a data secure environment, regenerating urban spaces, making buildings safer and healthier. Or you may have your own challenge that you want to explore.

We are keen to work with you to understand your challenge or your idea and then, provided you are eligible, we can provide you with a dedicated consultancy service.

What will the consultancy involve?

These are 1-1 sessions with yourself and IC3, online or onsite to work with your organisation to explore how digital technologies can address your challenge. We can provide up to 6 days of free consultancy. These can be split into smaller sessions over a longer period e.g. 6 weeks of 1-day-a-week consultancy. We will also look to see if there is further funding available to support you in the longer term.

What are the benefits of accessing this consultancy?

· You gain access to experts able to provide

customised support for your organisation.

· You can explore an application of digital
technology through ‘free’ consultancy helping you save both time and money.

· This could lead to further funding opportunities
in the future.

Who is eligible for this support?

The scheme is open to any organisation that is working in or has an impact on the North of Tyne region. Your challenge should be linked to the construction and built environment sector and be aiming to apply digital technologies to help address it.
