News: Enigma awarded places on digital innovation panel

Enigma are pleased to announce that we have been awarded two places on the supplier panel for the Codeworks Dev Scheme – a brand new digital prototyping scheme, designed to encourage and support digital innovation.

Codeworks, a  North East based centre for digital innovation, recently launched the Codeworks Digital Evaluation Vehicle (DEV) - a digital prototyping service, benefiting from a £1.9m investment to accelerate the creation of high growth software companies in the region. The programme aims to significantly lower barriers to innovation for software product development.

Fred Pernet, Programme Leader, explains:

"Our target is to assist over 80 companies with technical and market research and take 20 to the software prototypes stage.

We will identify entrepreneurs or companies with a new software concept for development and prototyping. Codeworks DEV will then work with them on these early stage ideas to analyse their market potential, technical requirements and provide a development roadmap for design and testing.
Those who go through the process will walk away with a prototype or demonstrator to help them raise further investment or take their concept to market.

It’s an excellent method of bridging the innovation barrier between early stage ideas and capital investment, and the project will also benefit regional software developers procured and paid to work with Codeworks DEV clients developing their concepts."

Enigma are delighted to have been selected to sit on the panel as experts on both mobile and web prototype developments for the next four years.  We are looking forward to working with inventors and entrepreneurs to take their innovative ideas forward.
