Funding and Support
The UK government is frequently reviewing and creating various initiatives to support R&D, business growth, low carbon, and business efficiency improvements. SMMT has created a digital Funding and Support Guide to capture and provide members with information about current and future schemes and their availability.
SMMT Funding and Support Guide
The digital guide includes filters for easy identification of available international and regional funding and support schemes. Information on the eligibility, descriptions and contact details is available for each scheme.
SMMT welcomes a contribution of new schemes to the SMMT Funding and Support Guide, suggestions should be made to memberservices@smmt.co.uk.
SMMT updates the available schemes regularly, but cannot guarantee the latest available information will be reflected. SMMT strongly advises members to contact the scheme provider before taking action and cannot guarantee application success.
