£220,000 available to innovative South East businesses

SMEs in the South East of England are being invited to apply for Innovation Vouchers to enable them to develop technology, start research, or access equipment, expertise and technical consultancy.



Innovation Vouchers are designed to encourage and make it easier for businesses to buy in support in the form of access to the facilities and expertise of UK Universities and Public Research Establishments to support innovation and business improvement.

Available through the South East Health Technology Alliance (SEHTA), up to 55 vouchers worth £4,000 and £8,000 are funded by the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) as part of a wider initiative to support high growth companies in the South East region.

Applications are invited from any high growth-potential SME, social enterprise or not-for-profit organisation from any sector, based in the South East of England.

Dr David Parry, CEO of SEHTA, said: “These vouchers can act as a very important catalyst for businesses demonstrating innovation and high growth potential in their specific sector. If successful, with their application, they can easily get access to expertise and technical capabilities that would normally be beyond their reach, which also means they can develop and deliver products and services to market faster.”

The Innovation Voucher scheme opened on the 1st of February and interested companies interested are invited to apply by the 9th of March 2011. Successful applicants will be notified by 31st March 2011.
