Supporting innovation with Aerospace Cornwall

AeroSpace Cornwall is a programme promoting research, development and innovation, enabling businesses across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to take their ideas and turn them into viable products ready to market in the space and aerospace sectors.

AeroSpace Cornwall can support businesses in developing a new product, service or technology in a number of ways, including through the provision of fully funded space, aerospace or digital sector specialists, experts in investment, and legal or intellectual property advisors to mentor and support businesses in developing their product, service or technology

Annalisa and John took the view that in order to support these businesses, they really needed to understand not just the products created but how the businesses operate, their goals, aspirations and the challenges facing them.  When meeting each new business for the first time, Annalisa and John provided a “legal health-check”, working with each business to understand other risks and opportunities that can be managed, as well as ensuring that their IP is protected. This has led to us providing wider commercial support including contract reviews and advice around NDAs.

We used our specialist space and aerospace sector knowledge to give relevant context to our advice, providing a bespoke strategy for each business.

Feedback from the team at AeroSpace Cornwall and the businesses that we are supporting has been universally positive and the businesses have been able to take their product or service to market safe in the knowledge that they have the appropriate legal protections in place.
