EUGA - Grants for Innovation

Here's some useful information, from our Emerging Partner Team, on applying for government funding for R&D support.

Within the Emerging Partner Team at Microsoft we are constantly looking at ways in which we can support the Innovative Partners of tomorrow. We have a whole host of benefits and resources available, depending upon your business model, but the question we get asked most (and probably find hardest to definitively answer) is ‘can you help me get some funding?’ J

The answer is ‘yes’ we can help but of course we can’t guarantee.

One route that is often overlooked is applying for a Government grant.

I have recently been chatting with a friend at PNO Consultants who help with these applications for businesses, they take away some of the administrative hurdles and help you reach a decision quicker. Mark has sent me the table below for a quick glance at what is on offer for Software Companies for R&D support.

Microsoft also have an awesome tool within the Small Business Community for finding a grant - https://www.microsoft.com/uk/smallbusiness/euga/default.mspx
