Workshop: Understanding Innovation Grants

Securing grant funding can be transformative for fintech businesses — but understanding how innovation funding really works is essential before investing time and effort into an application.

In this practical, in-person workshop, — innovation and commercialisation specialist and former senior leader at Innovate UK — will demystify the world of innovation grants. Drawing on his experience supporting startups, scale-ups, universities and public sector organisations, Jon will provide clear insight into how competitive funding schemes operate and what makes projects stand out.

This session will cover:

• What innovation grants are for — and what they are not for
• How Innovate UK and similar competitive funding programmes actually work
• The characteristics of credible, fundable projects
• Common pitfalls in grant applications and how to avoid them

Designed for fintech founders, innovation leads and growth-stage businesses, this workshop will help you assess whether grant funding is right for your organisation and how to position your ideas effectively.
If you are considering applying for Innovate UK or other innovation funding in the next 12–18 months, this session will provide valuable clarity and direction.
