SMART (InnovateUK) ofrece No especificado mediante Convocatoria periódica con hasta USD 2.750.000 para startups y emprendedores de Europa. Founded in 2018, Innovate UK is a government body part of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) that aims to provide money and support to new businesses and startups as part of multiple innovation grant programs (see more on that below). Their flagship innovation grant is SMART. As with any innovation grant, SMART is also very competitive: it runs once a year and only 6% of applicants get selected each year. Is Your Startup Eligible? All types of industries are eligible. Indeed, applications can come from any tech-enabled company, no matter what sector(s) it applies to. As long as your business demonstrates it is carrying an innovative project, which is also commercially viable and has a positive impact on the UK economy, you may be able to apply. First, your business must be either a micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) which is the case for all startups. Also, the project(s) work need to be carried out in the UK. Same goes for the benefits of the project(s): they need to be commercially exploited “from or in the UK”. Finally, the project need to meet certain duration and cost criteria: Project(s) between 6 to 18 months must have a total cost between £25,000 and £500,000 Project(s) between 19 to 36 months must have a total cost between £25,000 and £2,000,000 Learn more about whether you can apply for your startup and how much you can get by reading our complete guide on UK Innovate’s SMART grant here.
