About Us

The Essex Innovation Programmes are seeking to increase significantly the number of Essex businesses that secure grant funding.

How does it work?
 
Through the programmes, you will have access to our mentors, who can give specialist advice to you to find out you eligibility for funding applications and help you develop applications.
 
Sources include:
 
EEDA Proof of Concept & Grants for R&D
 
Funding is available for small and medium sized businesses, subject to a successful application to
EEDA, to share the financial costs of projects that involve the following:
• The development of a simple, low-cost prototype of a new product or process that involves technological innovation or novelty;
• The investigation of the technical and commercial feasibility of innovative technology; or
• The development of a pre-production prototype of a new product or process that involves a significant technological advance
 
Other Funding
 
Whether you are a small or medium sized business, or a new or established venture, there may be funding available to support your project.
 
There are various other funding initiatives that the Essex Innovation Programmes can help identify and give you direction.
We have certainly clarified our ideas thanks to the scheme
