Stockport College partners with Xpand as part of Business Innovation Programme

Trafford and Stockport College Group has announced a new partnership with the Xpand platform as part of its Business Innovation Programme.

Xpand is a user-friendly platform designed to support programme management, delivery, and evaluation—helping Stockport College and Innovate UK track data and measure the success of the innovation programme across Greater Manchester.

This platform is currently still being developed and, once live, will give you access to all business initiatives in Trafford, Stockport and Greater Manchester in the future. Businesses that sign up to the scheme will gain access to funding opportunities, details of tailored courses and events, and personalised business support.

Businesses that have been involved already with the innovation programme at the college, either through a diagnostic meeting or one of the many workshops that have taken place at Stockport College over the past year, are particularly invited to join the first wave of sign-ups for the Xpand platform.

Trafford & Stockport based businesses can register an account by 17th April 2025 to help us continue delivering valuable training to local businesses and support Innovate UK in measuring the programme’s impact.
