Innovate UK Smart ‘Open Grant Funding’ Programme

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, is investing up to £25 million in the best game-changing and commercially viable innovative or disruptive business focused ideas that can significantly impact the UK economy.

Applications can come from any area of technology and be applied to any part of the economy, such as, but not exclusively:

  • the arts, design and media
  • creative industries
  • science or engineering

Applications will be assessed on innovation merit, where innovation is defined as the potential for commercially successful exploitation of ideas.

An online briefing event will be held on 11 June 2021.

This competition closes at 11am UK time on 25 August 2021.
