UWE Bristol has launched a new campaign to highlight the range of support they can offer businesses. “Transform Your Business” will run throughout the summer and includes:

  • Business transformation projects – 1:1 support from business development managers to access expertise and funding within the university
  • UWE Business Network – a chance to be part of UWEs network, take part in events (e.g. discounts on CPD courses and innovation roundtables), and stay informed about support and funding (e.g. incubation space, internships and more)
  • £1M Digital Innovation Fund – applications for this close on the 8th July

UWE’s Digital Innovation Fund provides business support and £1m in grants for small and medium sized business in the West of England. The scheme is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and offers eligible businesses innovation grants from £10,000 to £40,000 to fund 35% of project costs.Grants are open to businesses in any sector that want to innovate and address new challenges that have arisen from COVID-19.

Applicants for the grant must be small or medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and based in Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset or South Gloucestershire, however the other information and support is open to wider audiences.
