The Centre for Technology Excellence (CTE) is an Information Communication Technology (ICT) demonstrator facility that has been established with funding from East Midlands Development Agency (emda) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to allow businesses and communities within the region the opportunity to explore how hardware and software can help in working and daily life.

The CTE is fully equipped with the latest available ICT resources, which we can demonstrate to your organisation, in order to discover your specific wants and needs.

This service is free to all eligible organisations, each organisation can access the equivalent of up to 5 days or £2000 worth of support.
