Join Dr Chloe Sharp, Grants Consultant at MPA, for an expert-led workshop designed to help founders and innovators understand what’s changed, what works now, and how to give your application the best possible chance of success.
You’ll leave with a clear picture of where your project fits in the current landscape, how to identify the right opportunities, and what funders are really looking for in 2025.
What You’ll Learn
In this focused session, you’ll gain the insight and confidence to:
- Understand the grant funding landscape for 2025 — and where Innovate UK is focusing investment
- Identify the best-fit programmes and funding calls for your business
- Match your project goals with the right funding model
- Craft a strong, competitive application that stands out
- Avoid the mistakes that stop many applications at the first stage
Following the workshop, attendees can book a free 30-minute consultation with an MPA grant expert to discuss their project and explore funding options in more detail.
