Funding Solutions

Not sure which funding is best for your needs? We're here to help!

Due to diversity of funding available to companies wishing to work in partnership with universities and research institutes, we've collected some of the main funding opportunities available from a range of organisations so you can find relevant information for your needs quickly and effectively.  Undertaking research and development (R & D) does bear a cost. However, the potential benefits of collaborative R & D to your company can be immediate and far reaching. These funding schemes present the opportunity to source expertise and finances, providing your company the chance to further grow and flourish.

There are also innovation prizes and awards to reward projects or companies included here.  We do work hard to keep this section up to date, but do check the appropriate website for the latest details, deadlines etc.
