Innovate UK, as part of UK Research and Innovation, is investing up to £25 million in the best game-changing or disruptive R&D innovations which have significant potential to impact on the UK economy.

All proposals must be business focused, rather than pure research. Applications can come from any area of technology (including arts, design, media or creative industries), science or engineering and be applied to any part of the economy.

Whilst they welcome projects that overlap with the Grand Challenge areas of the UK Industrial Strategy – artificial intelligence and data, ageing society, clean growth and future of mobility – they are also keen to support projects that are entirely outside of these.

Funding

  • Duration between 6 and 18 months: total eligible project costs between £25,000 and £500,000 (single company or collaboration).
  • Duration between 19 and 36 months: total eligible project costs between £25,000 and £2 million (collaboration only).
