County council chiefs say they are determined to continue to build on the success of a cross-Channel business support programme which ends this month after four years.
The Innovative Sector Exchange (ISE) project was part-financed by the European Interreg 2 Seas Programme and provided free support to hundreds of businesses in Kent and neighbouring regions across the Channel - Hauts-de-France, East and West Flanders in Belgium and the South West of the Netherlands.

It helped small firms make connections in other parts of Europe and to better understand how to adapt products and services for international markets. Kent County Council led the project in partnership with the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, Chambers of Commerce in Belgium and innovation support agencies in the Netherlands and Northern France.
