A series of free-to-join growth programmes for Torbay businesses.

IMPACT Torbay is a series of free-to-join growth services aimed at helping businesses and entrepreneurs in the Torbay area create new commercial opportunities and solve fundamental business challenges through innovation — as well as building the innovation capabilities to do this repeatedly.

All programmes are fully funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and will be delivered by innovation consultancy, Studio Zao, on behalf of Torbay Council.

Who is this for?

Our services are designed for all businesses and individuals based in Torbay (TQ1 - TQ5 postcodes), who are looking to grow, solve internal stakeholder challenges and, put simply, innovate!

Our support ranges from 1-day Hackathons to 7-week Accelerator programmes.

Outcomes

You'll have the tools to make real changes in your business, such as:

  • Prototype and launch an innovative product to a new market.

  • Implement a new legal framework to improve supplier relationships.

  • Collaboratively define a go-to-market campaign with a partner.

  • Launch a recruitment campaign to satisfy compliance requirements in a new market you’re entering.

These are just examples, but they show what you could achieve, no matter what stage your business is in.
