GSW Marine and Maritime Launchpad Round 3 has launched with £2.3 million for projects between £25-£50K for projects that grow innovation activities in the marine and maritime cluster in the Great South West (Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset).
Your innovation must lead to new products, processes or services that are significantly ahead of others currently available, or propose an innovative use of existing products, processes or services. It can also involve a new or innovative business model.
Your project must:
– have total project costs and grant funding request of between £25,000 and £50,000
– have total project costs that equal your grant funding request start from 1 October 2025 and end by 31 May 2026 (lasting between 3 and 6 months)
– carry out all of its project work in the UK
– intend to exploit the project outcomes from the UK for domestic or global benefit
If your business has been funded directly by Innovate UK previously, you are not eligible to apply for this competition. If however you have received funding directly from Innovate UK Business Growth (previously Innovate UK EDGE) or a Catapult scheme, you are still eligible to apply for this competition.
In applying to this competition, you are entering into a competitive process. This competition has a funding limit, so we may not be able to fund all the proposed projects. It may be the case that your project scores highly but we are still unable to fund it.
