What manufacturing grants can a UK business get?
In this catalogue, 25 manufacturing schemes are not past their listed date, out of 25 tagged that way. Plant, process and making things. A tag is not an award. Check the funder, the place and the deadline. Examples in the catalogue: Innovate UK Smart grant; Knowledge Transfer Partnership; UK Net Zero SME grant; Scottish Enterprise growth grant.
Also asked as: Manufacturing grants UK · manufacturing funding
Does this include UK-wide schemes?
Yes, if the scheme text matches this area of work. A UK-wide competition still has its own eligibility. A local scheme still stops at its boundary.
What if my trade is not named?
Use the postcode check with the industry set, and read the near misses. A scheme with no industry on the listing is not shown as a match for a specific trade.
