Swindon & Wiltshire Innovation 4 Growth
If you are a SME based in Swindon & Wiltshire, UWE Bristol's Innovation 4 Growth (I4G) programme helps support you to innovate, to solve new challenges, and to create new employment opportunities.
The I4G programme supports research and development (R&D) initiatives from all sectors with grants of up to £40,000 to fund 35% of total project costs. We sought applications from R&D projects that would create jobs in the region by developing innovative new products, technologies, processes or services.
The I4G grant funding call is now closed and the final funds are due to be allocated shortly. Please note, if you were successful, your project must be completed by 31 December 2022.
Alongside grant funding we are offering free training workshops and have a dedicated team available to support you.
Check if you are eligible to apply and then read the full Guidance notes here.

Fully-funded training workshops have now launched!
Our next 2 day "Funding Business Evolution" workshop will take place on the 2nd and 3rd March 2023 at The Workshed in Swindon.
‘Without going to the “Funding Evolution Workshop” I wouldn’t have the knowledge, inspiration and confidence to pursue funding. As a small business, in a capital-intensive sector, getting investors / funders is vital for our growth. The two days cemented my thoughts, dispelled my myths and removed my worries’
