Grants & Funding

Growth Through Innovation (GTI) Grant Fund

Invest in innovation, research and development

Funded by the European Regional Development Fund, the GTI Grant Fund, is delivered by New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (New Anglia) in partnership with Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and Suffolk County Council. 

The grant has been designed to provide vital funding for local growing SMEs to help with research and development projects, innovation aid and process and organisational innovation. Eligible companies can apply for £1,000 – £25,000 grants to help towards the purchase of instruments and equipment, software and licences, engagement/secondment of specialist researchers and technicians, Intellectual Property costs, materials and consultancy. The grant can pay up to 50% of the total eligible costs of your projects.

There is a limited pot of funding available to support companies, so we’re looking for companies to bring forward innovation projects that will have a significant impact on their business, and grant applications will be considered on a “first-come, first-served” basis.
