The Tech for Growth business support project, commissioned by Warrington Borough Council and funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, gives 40 businesses the exciting opportunity to access £80,000 of grants to embed new technologies in their organisations.
The programme will start with a detailed diagnostic service to help businesses understand how a technology could help drive efficiencies and growth in their organisation. The business will then have the opportunity to apply for a grant which will be followed up with wraparound mentoring and support from qualified technology business advisors.
Eligibility
The project will run until 31st March 2025 and offer up to 40 businesses the opportunity to access technology support.
To be eligible a business must be based in the Warrington borough and plan to implement a Smart Digital Technology, such as an automated digital system, new piece of software or hardware etc. Grants will be allocated based on need, impact on the business, and the ability to create new jobs.
Grants will be capped at £5,000 per business and delivered through a cashback model.
Apply
The application process is quick and simple. First of all, please provide us with some initial information about your business and our support team will be in touch with information about the diagnostic process and grants.
The programme only has 40 places available and these will be allocated on a first come, first served basis so apply now to avoid missing out!
