If you have a bold idea and are considering applying for innovation funding, our Innovation Grant Mentoring service can help you develop a stronger, more confident application.
Whether you’re developing a new product, service or process, our experienced mentors and bid coaches can guide you through the funding 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 shape a clear, compelling bid that gives your application the best possible chance of success.
Already applied but didn’t receive a grant? Don’t give up. We can help you strengthen your next application and move your project forward with confidence.
This free support is available to eligible businesses based in Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex.
How it works
We start by getting to know your business, your goals and your innovative ideas. From there, we match you with an experienced Innovation Mentor and Bid Coach who can support you throughout the process.
The programme is open to micro, small and medium-sized businesses based in Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex. We can help you shape your proposal, identify the most suitable funding call, and prepare a strong application for innovation funding.
What we’ll need from you
You’ll need to commit time and effort to the process. Your Mentor or Bid Writing Coach can offer advice, guidance and feedback, but they won’t conduct your product research or complete the application for you.
Additionally, we may ask you to help promote the programme once you’ve taken part in our mentoring or coaching. If the programme helps you secure funding, we’ll want to share your success!
