FIC – Flood Innovation Centre

The Flood Innovation Centre (FIC) supports small and medium-sized businesses to develop new flood resilience products and services.

About

Building on its strengths in flooding, geoscience, climate change, logistics and computer science, the University of Hull has established the Flood Innovation Centre (FIC) to provide a hub for research and innovation focused on flood risk and resilience.

The Centre supports Humber based small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to develop flood resilience, mitigation, management and response solutions. The £3.4m Flood Innovation Centre is based within the University’s Energy and Environment Institute and is supported with £1.9m from the European Regional Development Fund.

FIC is delivering a programme of research, development and innovation support to help businesses to collaborate with the University to develop flood resilience solutions. Collaborative projects and partnerships may also involve large companies and other research organisations where appropriate.

If you’re an SME in the Humber region driving flood innovation you could be eligible.

Our packages work around your business goals and you’ll work with a dedicated Technology Research Manager to ensure these are achieved.
