SUMMARY:Turn New Products\, Processes & Tech into Tax Savings: Great Ideas Webinar

After we’ve defined it clearly\, we’ll refer to it as R&D.\nThe UK “Patent Box” regime – a set of rules that can cut your corporation tax on profits from products that use your patented inventions.\n\nWhat you’ll learn \n\nWhat HMRC sees as qualifying R&D work in everyday projects\nWhich typical costs can be included in an R&D claim\nWhat’s changed recently in the rules and what it means for your next claim\nCommon pitfalls that delay claims or reduce the benefit\nHow the Patent Box works in practice and when it’s worth considering\nHow to spot when a patent could deliver long‑term tax advantages\n\nWho it’s for\nBusinesses planning a product launch\, process improvement\, or tech adoption. Even if you wouldn’t call yourself “innovative”\, if you’re solving problems or making things work better\, this session is for you. \nSpeaker\nAngela Mikola BSc (Hons)\, CA\, CTA\, Associate Partner of Tax at Clive Owen LLP – a specialist in helping companies identify eligible activity\, avoid common mistakes and maximise the value of claims. \nTuesday 14 July 10:00-11:00   \nSign Up\nThis webinar provides general guidance and is not a substitute for advice tailored to your circumstances. \nIf you’d like personalised support to turn your idea into a product\, improve processes\, or adopt new tech\, join the Great Ideas programme.

SUMMARY:LX Foundry - Level-up Your Live Training
DESCRIPTION:Part of the LX Foundry Series\nForging Learning Experiences\nThe LX Foundry Series is a funded programme designed to help anyone delivering training improve their Learning Experience (LX)\, with a particular focus on creating engaging online and digital learning. \nWho is it for? \nThe programme is primarily aimed at training providers and businesses delivering learning externally. However\, it is also highly relevant for organisations running internal training\, webinars\, or transitioning from in-person to online delivery. \nWhat’s available – and where should I start? \nThe LX Foundry Series includes three complementary offers: \n\nLX Foundry – Digital Course Launchpad\nA four-week online workshop series covering the fundamentals of designing and delivering effective online learning. We recommend most participants start here.\nLX Foundry – Experience Day\nA hands-on micro-conference featuring expert sessions\, live demonstrations\, and the chance to try out equipment and tools for creating high-quality online content.\nLX Foundry – Level Up Your Live Training\nAn interactive webinar focused on practical techniques to make your live online training more engaging\, dynamic\, and impactful.\n\nA Master-Class in Designing & Delivering Live Training\n“How are you doing that?” \n“There was a real sense of togetherness” \n“Whatever you use for your delivery feels more personal than other online courses – it feels like when actors break the 4th wall and talk to the audience.” \n  \nDo you find it challenging moving from in-person to online training? \nToo often amazing in-person speakers/trainers/facilitators find themselves banished to a tiny box in the corner of the screen struggling to connect and engage with their digital audience. Their great stories\, examples and anecdotes feel like dull monologues without the energy of the real-life room. \nJoin our expert team to push your online training to its limits to excite and engage your audiences. \n  \nAbout the Workshop\nIn this interactive training session\, we’ll look at different ways to break out of the box and level up our live training. You should come away buzzing with tips\, tricks and techniques to make your live training more engaging for both the audience – and the trainer. \nIt’s going to be a live workshop\, so we won’t be recording the event. Come along to enjoy a live interactive session with the team\, get involved\, ask questions\, get real answers and come away with practical ways to improve your own training sessions. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nRichard leads workshop development for Enterprise CUBE CIC and has been finding new ways to deliver online workshops since 2013. Since the pandemic\, there’s been an explosion in audiences and the available technology. \nThis workshop is being run in response to the number of people that come to our workshops and ask – how are you doing that? \n  \nBeyond the Workshop – Level-Up Your Way\nAfter the workshop you’ll get access to our Level-Up your Live Training on-demand course\, so you can tackle the technical and practical elements of improving your own training at your own pace with step-by-step demonstrations and guidance on a wide range of topics – from creator confidence to studio design or selecting affordable equipment. \n  \nDetails: Tuesday 21 July\, 10am – 11am | Online\n  \nDelivered by Enterprise CUBE CIC\, this project is part of the LX Foundry series which is supporting local providers to design new and improved learner experiences. \nSupported by David Skaith\, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire and funded by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. \n
