Not sure your project counts as 'innovation'?
It probably does.
Most engineering and manufacturing founders assume the big grants are for lab science, not the factory floor. They’re usually wrong. If you’re solving a real automation, additive, advanced-materials, sensor or aerospace challenge with genuine technical uncertainty and a credible route to production, there is very likely public funding with your name on it.

What would you do with £150k you didn't have to pay back?
A grant isn’t a line on a balance sheet. It’s the prototype tooling you keep deferring, the production line you can’t yet fund, the engineer you couldn’t afford. Non-dilutive funding grows your company without costing you a share of it – or a penny of debt.

How Fixie secured two innovative UK grants, without wasting time on the wrong application.
Fixie's challenge wasn't ambition, it was risk: pouring hundreds of hours into applications that might not even be relevant. Grantify matched them to the right funding, then broke the application down through a structured, step-by-step platform with expert guidance, so every answer landed where it needed to. The result: Fixie secured both an Innovate UK Sustainable Innovation grant and an Innovate UK Smart Grant.In their words: "You could waste so much time writing something that's not relevant… Grantify have the structure and the form that breaks everything down."
