Funding for Success

Do you fit into one of the following categories?

• Take Off - A start-up looking for funding to develop a new venture?
• Innovate - A research project hoping to commercialise on the outcome?

We have a pot of funding for both categories, and all you need to do us convince us that you deserve it. Take this opportunity to gain funding for success!

Will it help take your business to the next level, allow you to hire new staff, enable you to bring a new idea to market...and more? We need you to tell us!

This funding pot is open until the 9th of July.

Take Off - £10,000

Looking to set up a business in either the Science, Tech or Creative Sector? Take Off is looking for dynamic entrepreneurs! We have a pot of £10,000 available, which we will share at our discretion. This may mean several projects share the pot, or that one amazing venture is the lucky recipient of it all. We'll also provide business support for the winners. If you're just starting up, and know you're on to a winner but don't know how you'll get the funds to get started, then why not go for it?

What do we need from you?

Complete this short form, telling us about your idea and why you need the funding. This is your opprtunity to 'wow' us, so don't leave any details out! We'll assess each one, and invite those which stand out to pitch their idea to us in person (or virtually!).

Innovate - £20,000

Do you have a research project which you know could turn into a commercial opportunity, you just need a little financial support? Innovate is for businesses in the region who are currently in the research stage. You may be looking into developing new products for your company, or just starting out into the market. We have a pot of £20,000 available, which we will share at our discretion. This may mean several projects share the pot, or that one amazing venture is the lucky recipient of it all.

What do we need from you?

Complete this form. Tell us about your project, and remember to give detail on the potential to commercialise the project. We will be in touch following the closing date, to discuss your project further.
