Technology
Most technologies are eligible and applications from traditional industries and hi-tech businesses are equally welcome. However, we do not support defence projects. Certain industry sectors have restrictions on state aid for R&D under the provisions of the Treaty of Rome (Artcles 92 and 93). The industries currently affected include shipbuilding and transport. Contact us if you are uncertain whether these restrictions could affect your project.
Projects must represent a significant technological advance for the UK industry or sector concerned and significant technical risks should associated with the technology challenge.
