The Network Effect
The New Product Network (NPN) works on the same model that has been successfully developed
by the The Sussex Innovation Centre (SInC) for supporting the creation and growth of new
technology businesses.
The NPN provides a set of core member services for product development companies (in the same way as SInC provides specialist facilities), e.g. relevant events, product promotion, advice articles. But similar to the Innovation Centre the real value comes from the network itself, the opportunity to work with and learn from like-minded developers, to have access to a support team experienced in product development and commercialisation, to draw upon the inspiration and credibility of being part of an innovative community, to benefit from the critical mass effects for corporate introductions and access to skilled professionals.
This Network Effect is part of your reason for joining the New Product Network. Additional

• Product Directory
