Rutland County Council has launched a new business support project in partnership with Leicestershire's universities.
Rutland Innovative Businesses Support, or RIBS, brings together Loughborough, De Montfort and the University of Leicester and is made possible through over £91,000 from the Government Shared Prosperity Fund. It's hoped the project will offer entrepreneurs and businesses in the county unprecedented access to expertise, innovation, support, specialist equipment and facilities.
