These are challenging times for innovators with private investors already reducing support for high risk R&D activities due to current market volatility caused by the ongoing Coronavirus situation. However, significant support is still available in the form of grants from bodies such as Innovate UK. There are a number of sector specific schemes currently available and in the pipeline for 2020, plus open calls such as the Smart Grants competition (next deadline 22.04.2020) to support the best game-changing and commercially viable innovative or disruptive ideas across all sectors. Please contact us for application advice and to find out more about upcoming opportunities. For general funding support, the UK government has also released their Coronavirus business support programme.
