SME's like yours are actively encouraged by the UK government to apply for grant funding as part of their efforts to improve levelling up. Similarly, if you are outside of London, you are encouraged to apply.

We work with universities that are collaborating with companies and SME's to commercialise innovative technology that spins out of blue-sky research, bringing ideas to reality and changing lives.

Spinout businesses are very popular with grant awarding bodies and we work with several catapults and Innovation Hubs to help fund businesses in their community. Providing the financial lifeblood needed to bridge the gap between a great idea, a great product and a successful business.
