Range of Services

Innovation Project Management

All research and innovation projects require careful planning and coordination to ensure success.

Grant funded projects also have specific administrative tasks and reporting obligations. We can take care of the project management, keeping you on track and giving you more time to perform the research.

Networking & Consortium Building

Every successful innovation project needs the right team members to manage and deliver the project, and plan for commercialisation of the innovation.

If required, we will help you to find and engage the right partners, subcontractors and stakeholders from across your supply chain.

Project Monitoring

We provide external project monitoring services for Innovate UK, private investors and other funding bodies.

We monitor project progress against the project plan, and provide technical and financial assurance.

Innovate UK

Innovate UK is the UK’s innovation agency. It is part of UKRI, a UK non-departmental public body reporting to the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).

Innovate UK funds innovative businesses to accelerate sustainable economic growth.

Example of Innovate UK Funding

Innovate UK run numerous grant funding competitions across the year, covering a range of sectors and government priorities. Innovate UK Smart Grants are designed to support a wide range of UK innovation projects with costs up to £1 million.

Smart Grants operate as a rolling competition, meaning applications are continuously accepted throughout the year. This structure allows businesses to apply whenever they are ready, rather than waiting for specific funding calls.

However, due to their broad scope, Smart Grants are highly oversubscribed and are the most competitive of all Innovate UK’s grants. It is often advisable to seek funding competitions that have a more defined scope aligned with your innovation as this can potentially increase your chances of securing funding.

We can help you identify the most suitable grants and can help you win Innovate UK Research funding.
