NTI funding & learning makes it happen

East Midlands NTI is an initiative backed by the region’s leading colleges and universities. NTI provides match funded grants to small and medium sized firms to invest in state of the art technology, and gain advanced technology skills through NTI approved courses.

NTI also provides grants to its Network of universities and colleges to invest in high tech equipment, and for the development of Foundation Degrees. Equipment purchased by the universities and colleges is available for use by local companies taking part in NTI programmes.
