Grants

R & D Grants and Funding are a valuable source of new funds for innovative companies. The UK has a variety of agencies and application processes.

Smart Programme

‘Smart’ is operated by the Technology Strategy Board. The Technology Strategy Board is

system run by regional development agencies. Grants range from £50k to £250k.
Three types of grant are available to eligible companies:
– Proof of market grant
– Proof of concept grant
– Development of prototype grant
Pre start-ups, start-ups, and small and medium-sized businesses from all sectors across
the UK may apply for the Smart programme.
