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.

Grant for Research and Development is a Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) business support initiative which provides funding to help individuals and small and medium-sized businesses research and develop technologically innovative products and processes. There are different levels of grant available for different projects.
