Government expands aid for start-ups and innovators
The government has expanded its COVID-19 support for start-ups and innovative companies with the launch of a new fund.
On 27 June the government announced the Sustainable Innovation Fund (SIF), which is aimed at helping businesses to keep ‘cutting edge’ projects and ideas alive during the pandemic.
The SIF will make almost £200 million available to UK companies that are developing new technologies in certain areas. These include making homes and offices more energy efficient, creating ground-breaking medical technologies, and reducing the carbon footprint of public transport.
The government is asking research and development-intensive businesses to apply for the funding.
