SparkFund Innovation Manager
SparkFund is an innovation support and grants programme that will help you to improve or develop exciting new products, services or processes. If you’re a small to medium sized business in the Humber, York, North Yorkshire region with aspirations to move forward, you’re in the right place.
Match funding is the financial contribution SMEs must make towards the innovation or research project. That amount is then matched by SparkFund.
SparkFund works with SMEs to procure the support needed to deliver their project through a tendering process.
The benefits of SparkFund go beyond its financial contribution. SMEs achieve a real impact through connecting with our innovation Managers.
