Innova

 

We're looking for ambitious businesses across the island to collaborate and form a strategic innovation partnership with another company - to get great products, services or processes off the ground.

How does it work?

You can claim up to £250,000/€285,000 per partnership to cover staff, equipment, consultancy and operating costs of the innovation project.  Please note your partner must be based in the other jurisdiction.
