Propel your business forward with grant funding for RD&I

The Growth Hub is offering grant funding of up to £200k for the purchase of equipment or kit to advance your RD&I project.

If your business is introducing new ideas, processes, products or services, the Growth Hub grants can help you buy equipment so your business can grow - and any business or sole trader can apply.

Kirsty Miles-Musgrave, Growth Hub Investment Operations Manager, said: “The types of grant projects we have funded previously included equipment to develop prototypes, testing machines for product development and software to speed up design.

“If your business is doing something similar, then don’t miss out on this opportunity to propel your business forward with the help of the Growth Hub’s grant funding!”

Eligible Activities: Funding is specifically for capital purchases of kit or equipment.

Match Funding: Businesses must provide at least 50% match funding.

Project Completion: All projects must be completed by 31 December 2024.
