Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, will work with Scottish Enterprise to invest up to £5.25 million in innovation projects.
The funding is from Innovate UK’s Launchpad programme which supports the UK government’s goals for local economic growth. This Launchpad is also supporting the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre as the local cluster management organisation. This will support projects across two Launchpad competition strands that target the bio-based manufacturing innovation cluster in Scotland.
The aim of this competition is to support outstanding innovation projects led by businesses. Your business must use the funding to grow your innovation activities in the bio-based manufacturing innovation cluster in Scotland both during and after the project.
Your proposal must align to the scope criteria for this competition. This competition is split into two strands:
- Launchpad: bio-based manufacturing innovation in Scotland, Collaborative Research and Development (CR&D), Round 2 (this strand)
- Launchpad: bio-based manufacturing innovation in Scotland, Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA), Round 2
It is your responsibility to ensure you submit your application to the correct strand for your project. You will not be able to transfer your application and it will not be sent for assessment if it is out of scope.
In applying to this competition, you are entering into a competitive process. This competition has a funding limit, so we may not be able to fund all the proposed projects. It may be the case that your project scores highly but we are still unable to fund it.
This competition closes at 11am UK time on the deadline stated in this Innovate UK competition brief. We cannot guarantee other government or third-party sites will always show the correct competition information.
