Next Wave: Breakthrough Wave 1 – Innovate UK
Innovate UK is offering funding to support early-stage innovation projects that sit at the intersection of Createch and the UK’s Industrial Strategy Frontier Industries. The programme aims to help businesses develop innovative ideas beyond the proof-of-concept stage, reducing risk for future investment and supporting long-term sector growth.
Grants are available for projects with eligible costs between £100,000 and £500,000, helping businesses develop and de-risk promising innovations before attracting further investment. Applications are open to UK-registered businesses and close on 11 August 2026.
