Welcome to actnow

Led by Cornwall Enterprise, actnow is a not-for-profit partnership project dedicated to accelerating economic growth and social inclusion in Cornwall through the use of the Internet and ICT.

actnow has been one of the most successful projects delivered in Cornwall under the Objective One programme and has helped well over 10,000 businesses, farms and voluntary organisations since it started in April 2002.

The final deadline for the return of claims under Objective One funding has now expired. 

Leading the way in flexible working

actnow is also spearheading an innovative project called actnow flex, promoting the use of flexible working to SMEs in South West England. (Click for more info) This project will run until November 2008. The results of the project will be one of the subjects at the "Business anytime anywhere" conference being held on the 4th November 2008 at the Eden Project, Cornwall. (Click here for more info)

Looking to the future

We are currently in advanced discussion with the South West of England Regional Development Agency and other stakeholders about building on the success of actnow through the Convergence programme (click here for further details about Convergence) so that Cornwall can continue to gain competitive advantage through its use of broadband and ICT. These discussions are ongoing and further information will be released as soon as it is available.
