Editor's Notes
- #4 We are part of the ‘Connect’ function working with our friends at the Enterprise Europe Network. I shall hand over to Alastair MacKenzie next to tell us about the work of the EEN, but key to us is that it doesn’t matter who you talk to; come to either of these networks and if we are not your best source of help, we will find that best source for you. Broadly speaking, KTN is about being a national network with deep sector knowledge; and the EEN network is more orientated to local business support, including international business development.
