Celebrating the impact of the Stride programme

Innovative Support

STRIDE was an innovation support programme led by the University of Plymouth and funded by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Shared Prosperity Fund.

The programme worked with businesses across Cornwall to develop new ideas, refine products and services, and access specialist expertise—helping drive productivity, sustainable growth, stronger supply chains and new market opportunities.

“STRIDE has been instrumental in helping us shape the direction of our product. Their guidance on IP protection, market research, and collaboration opportunities has been invaluable, giving us the tools and confidence to take the project forward."

Programme Legacy

While the STRIDE programme has now concluded, the University of Plymouth continues to support businesses with research, development and innovation.

Our business engagement activities remain in place, helping organisations collaborate with university expertise, access specialist facilities, and explore new opportunities for growth.
