National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD)

National Innovation for Data (NICD) helps organisations to unlock value in their data by helping organisations to learn new data skills to become more productive.

As part of the North of Tyne Combined Authority Digital Growth and Innovation Programme (NTCA Digital), The National Innovation Centre For Data is offering qualifying SMEs in the North of Tyne data science expertise to help support data-related projects. Their team of expert data scientists can enable your organisation to explore and gain insight from your data and, in doing so, help you to find operating efficiencies and potentially create new products and services – all of which can help your business grow.

They can help organisations that have the following in place:

• A desire from senior management to better understand the value and potential of data, and a willingness to make a small investment in staff development
• A current or potential project, involving data, that is being resourced as part of your normal business operations and requires additional or deeper data science-related skills
• One or more technical people that would benefit from learning more about the data-related techniques and tools that are directly applicable to the project
• Time available for these people to engage with us and be upskilled by their team

Whilst there is a charge for their data science expertise, the NTCA Digital programme offers eligible organisations a 50% subsidy against the full cost, to incentivise organisations in the North of Tyne region to grow and become more productive through data.
