CEDI has been used as the engagement vehicle in discussion with local businesses, networks and stakeholders, resulting in:

• Co-delivery of 2 large-scale (£5M) ERDF programmes via the M3 & Solent LEP regions, focussed on Low Carbon Innovation in SME’s and led by Portsmouth University.
• Successful external contract with Malmesbury Town Council via TVPP Ltd for digital visualisation, design work and consultancy in a funded project.
• Successful internal WRAP applications
• Creative and digital network engagement based in Winchester/Hampshire
• Engagement with local SMEs for support (current case with The Earth Museum and Winchester City App)
• 14 VR engagement workshops with staff/students to showcase VR potential
