Marine and Maritime Innovators Competition Now Open
This funding is from Innovate UK’s Launchpad programme which supports the UK government’s goals for local economic growth. This Launchpad is also supporting Maritime UK South West as the local cluster management organisation.
Innovate UK will work with Cornwall Council, Plymouth City Council and Dorset Council to invest up to £2.3 million in innovation projects.
The aim of this competition is to provide a package of targeted support to enable ambitious UK registered micro and small businesses to develop affordable, adoptable and investable innovations in the marine and maritime cluster in the Great South West.
Innovate UK is offering UK registered small and micro businesses a share of up to £2.3 million in grants. In addition to the grant support, you will be offered tailored business support delivered by Innovate UK Business Growth.
Your innovation must lead to new products, processes or services that are significantly ahead of others currently available, or propose an innovative use of existing products, processes or services. It can also involve a new or innovative business model.
In applying to this competition, you are entering into a competitive process. This competition has a funding limit, so we may not be able to fund all the proposed projects. It may be the case that your project scores highly but we are still unable to fund it.
This competition closes at 11am UK time on the deadline stated in this Innovate UK competition brief. We cannot guarantee other government or third party sites will always show the correct competition information.
