Driving innovations and understanding the financial support available: Webinar

At a time of national and global change it is crucial that the UK continues to provide the best possible environment for research and innovation to flourish.

Britain is a global leader when it comes to innovation and its major commitments are to increase public R&D spending to £22 billion by 2024-25.
The Chancellor announced that UK businesses driving innovation and development will be helped through the coronavirus outbreak with a £1.25 billion government support package.

The comprehensive package includes the Future Fund, a new £500 million loan scheme for high-growth firms, and £750 million of targeted support for small and medium sized businesses focusing on research and development that will be available through Innovate UK’s grants and loan scheme. Innovate UK will also increase support for existing customers and firms who don’t currently receive funding from the national innovation agency.
