What is SCEE?
SCEE, originally called the Smart Club East of England, was founded by a group of winners of what used to be called the "Smart" scheme - the DTI’s R & D grant programme. Winners of these awards are are seen as some of the most entrepreneurial organisations in the East of England.
We were formed to provide an opportunity for those companies and individuals to get together and share experiences, and learn from each other.
Now we cast the net a little wider, to follow the changing nature of Government support for R & D, but the ethos remains the same - we try to run events that will be of interested to all those companies that have benefitted fro m the schemes
In order to grow from small and medium sized businesses into larger organisations almost all of these firms require help, advice and guidance to modest or zero cost. This club’s mission is to help the members achieve the fastest rate of competitive improvement and growth.
