Innovating in Wales: the funding landscape for organisations

This event has ended.

The funding landscape in Wales is mixed, with a blend of funding programmes and initiatives..

Welsh Government recently released its delivery plan for Wales Innovates: Creating a Stronger, Fairer, Greener Wales. With economic goals including ‘to increase the number, impact, diversity and ambition of businesses that are innovation active within Wales’ and ‘to Increase the amount of investment in RD&I activity across all sectors, ensuring a fair regional share aligned to the priorities and strengths in Wales’. 

To help achieve this, there is a range of investment and funding opportunities to support organisations.

Researching funding and applying for grants takes time. Knowing which funding is the best for your organization, can also be tricky. All of this takes time and resource, which most businesses don’t have.

We understand this and want to help try speed up the research process for you.

On May 22nd, we are going to hold an Innovation Funding information workshop event, which will help organisations become more familiar with the funding initiatives available.

In this session, there will be a series of talks including;

*    Welsh Government Innovation Specialists 
*    Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)  
*    Smart funding

In addition to these talks, there will be a group discussion session, where organisations can get together and discuss their ongoing challenges around innovation, funding, accessing collaborative partners.

There will also be networking breaks to enable delegates to chat and connect further.
