A New Year…a new product? Apply now for a £3,000 Grant for Product Development

A New Year…a new product? For a limited period, businesses located in Woking Borough Council area can now apply for a grant of up to £3,000 towards the cost of developing or marketing a new product.

Over £0.5million has already been paid directly to independent businesses in this region, with much of this funding being used to help those businesses to develop and enhance their product range. Managed by Oxford Innovation Advice through the Manufacturing Growth Programme (MGP), the grant can be used to help pay towards a range of activities, including Market Research, Product Design, Prototyping, Testing, Branding and Marketing.

The feedback from employers has been overwhelmingly positive about the quick and simple application process. There is minimal paperwork and grants are typically approved within two weeks.

To apply for this grant or to find out more details, please contact Robin Simpson from the Manufacturing Growth Programme directly at [email protected] or call him on 07773 228 147.

The closing date for grant applications is Friday 17th March 2023.
