Innovation grant mentoring project

If you have a bold idea and considering applying for innovation funding, our Innovation Business Support service is here to help you succeed.

Whether you're developing a new product, or service for the UK our expert Innovation mentoring and bid coaching support can guide you through the process.

Securing innovation funding can be complex, especially for smaller businesses, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’ll work with you to craft a compelling application that boosts your chances of success.

Already applied but didn’t get funded? Don’t give up. We’ll help you strengthen your next bid and move your project forward with confidence.

This free support is available to businesses located in Norfolk, Suffolk, or Essex.

How it works

We start by getting to know your business, your goals, ambitions, and innovative ideas. From there, we match you with experienced an Innovation Mentor and Bid Coach who will support you every step of the way.

The service works with micro, small or medium-sized businesses, based in Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex. We’re here to help you shape your proposal, select the right funding call and prepare a strong application for innovation funding.

What's the catch?

You will need to put the time and effort in. Your mentor and bid writing coach offer advice and support, but they won’t do your product research or application for you.

We might also ask you to do a bit of promo work for the project once you’ve taken part. When our project helps you win your funding, we’ll want to shout about it
