Blackbird PLC (AIM:BIRD), developer of the Blackbird cloud video platform and the collaboration platform, elevate.io, has been selected to join Innovate UK’s Global Business Innovation Programme (GBIP).
This nine-to-12-month initiative helps UK businesses grow globally through research, development, collaboration, and innovation partnerships.
As part of the programme, Blackbird will attend the South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference in Austin, Texas, in March next year, a magnet for the world's media and technology firms.
The fully-funded trip will provide opportunities to pitch, engage in panel discussions, and network with potential partners and investors, expanding its international reach.
Blackbird CEO Ian McDonough said: "We are thrilled to have been selected to join Innovate UK's Global Business Innovation Programme, which will provide us with multiple opportunities to showcase elevate.io globally to interested companies and potential partners and help us with our growth ambitions. We look forward to leveraging SXSW and the wider GBIP."
