How To Apply For R&D Grants Workshop

About this workshop:

SMEs are always in need of income to support their initial development and growth. Grant funding is one of the key income categories for startups – but many startup founders find it difficult or impossible to secure funding at the right time to propel their business forward.

A clear-eyed strategy for securing grant income, combined with practical know-how in developing high-quality bids, is essential for grant application success.

Not only does this make it more likely you will win the grants you apply for, but the grant income will move your business forward in the right direction and lead to important partnerships with customers and other partners in the future.

We recommend this workshop for any incubator members who have never applied for grant funding before, as well as for members who have tried unsuccessfully to apply for grants in the past.

In this interactive 3-hour session, you will learn how to choose the right grant opportunities at the right time for your business, how to work with others to create better projects, and how to present the project in the best possible way for busy grant assessors. Plus our Entrepreneurs in Residence will show you how the SETsquared partnership can support you throughout the application process, with examples of successful projects from within our network.
