Conditions to know about
Grant funding is available for all sizes of business, from new companies to large multi-nationals. Opportunities are themed around Industrial Strategy grand challenges or open to any innovation or technology project. Innovation loans (£100,000 to £1 million) are repayable and UK-based SMEs only, so excluded here.
