Funding for innovation
A wealthy and healthy regional economy depends on innovative and
enterprising organisations and individuals with the aspiration to
succeed and to grow their business.
Key to growth of any company is the ability to access the right
support at the right time. The South West RDA and its partner
organisations offer a range of schemes that can help.

Innovation and Skills (BIS) business support initiative which

businesses research and develop technologically innovative products
and processes. There are different levels of grant available for
different projects.
