Let’s face a harsh reality… securing grant funding is no longer a “nice-to-have” for R&D companies; it is essential. In fact, 82% of R&D-focused companies report that securing grants is critical for sustaining growth in a competitive landscape.

Grants like Innovate UK’s offer more than funding – they are a mark of validation, opening doors to strategic partnerships and boosting visibility. Yet with only about 20% of Innovate UK applications succeeding, a clear strategy is vital to stand out and secure the funding your project deserves.

Here is the thing: preparing grant applications should not consume all your resources. While it is important to craft a solid application, it should not overtake your focus. Studies show that high-performing R&D teams dedicate only about 30-40% of their time to grant work, using the rest for core innovation activities that drive real impact.

 

EXAMPLE: If you allocate 10 hours per week to growth efforts, keep grant work under 4 hours; the remaining 6 should fuel your R&D advancements directly.
Yet, without a strategy, many companies overinvest in grants, leading to rejections and burnout. This often happens when teams lack guidance to cut through jargon and focus on what matters most.

This needs a solution.

The Innovation Funding F.O.C.U.S. Bootcamp is just the beginning of your funding journey.

You will gain a solid understanding of the Innovate UK application process, learn what is required, and assess whether these grants are a fit for your goals. After completing the online Bootcamp, you will have a structured approach you can use to prepare for a wide range of funding opportunities, allowing you to focus on realising your R&D goals.
