Innovation Support for the Foundation Industries: Funding Masterclass

Find out about the grant funding opportunities available to you and how these opportunities can be accessed.

In addition to Transforming Foundation Industries (TFI) competitions, there are a host of other opportunities for you to develop your business.

TFI, in conjunction with KTN are hosting webinars that will explain those opportunities and provide you with the knowledge and tools required to identify the right opportunity for you, find partners and prepare grant applications.

The session will run from 10:30 – 12:00 followed by Meeting Mojo 14:00 – 16:00

This masterclass is primarily aimed at those who are unfamiliar or would like to improve their success rate with the Innovate UK Innovation grant and loan applications as well as those who may be interested in KTPs.

The UK foundation industries, with a combined turnover estimated at £69bn and representing around 3% of the UK economy (2014), face many common challenges and the opportunity to address these challenges through cross-sector collaboration is compelling, allowing for a convincing case to be made together for government support. Funding and strategic support are necessary to address industry productivity, global competitiveness and to meet sustainability goals.

At these workshops, delegates will:

• have the difference between loans and grants explained
• be taken through the standard 10 application questions and also how the scoring on each is awarded
• be introduced to KTPs and how they are different from Innovation grants
• have the ability to ask questions in the Q&A
