Technology Enterprise Kent TEK is a non-profit making organisation, offering impartial information and advice to support individual entrepreneurs, innovators, new business start ups and established businesses in Kent and South East England.  In pursuing this goal, TEK works closely with individuals, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), regional development agencies, local government, universities, research institutes, technology providers and innovation supply chain practitioners. 

In the past 12 months we have assisted over 1,500 individual entrepreneurs, new business start ups and established companies, giving advice and support on a range of issues from starting a business to technology transfer and exploitation.

BIC Kent also works with other European Programmes, undertaking Research & Technology Development (RTD) projects that serve to quantify how SMEs assimilate and respond to the ever-changing environment in which they operate.

We also manage 64 workshop/incubator units and offices for new business start ups in Kent with over 250 tenants on three sites.

BIC Kent was a partner in hosting the 2007 EBN Congress.
