Innova

Realise your innovation with a strategic partnership 

Innova has up to £250k/€300k funding available for strategic North/South Collaborative innovation partnerships to develop new products, process or service development or to build on exisiting innovations. Companies benefit from pooling their expertise and resources to bring their innovations to market faster than if working alone. 

In 2013, we are now actively looking for further partnerships which have demonstrable commercial potential. Partners can work in the same sector or come from different but complimentary disciplines such as an environmental company working with an ICT organisation.

Business focussed innovation partnerships are currently invited to apply for Innova funding. In particular, projects in the following areas are now being sought :

• life and health sciences including polymers and plastics
• agri-food
• advanced engineering
• advanced materials
• telecoms
• environment
• ICT
