The funding will support projects across the three Launchpad competition strands that target the innovation cluster in the Great South West.

The aim of this competition is to support outstanding innovation projects led by businesses. Your business must be active or growing work activities in the marine and maritime innovation cluster in the Great South West, defined as Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, Devon, Somerset and Dorset.

This Launchpad competition supports the Government’s goals in the Levelling Up White Paper.

The projects will contribute to the Great South West’s ambitions for net zero targets and support key regional strategic marine and maritime markets.

Your proposal must align to the scope criteria for this competition.

This competition is split into three strands:

• Launchpad: marine and maritime, Great South West - Round 1 Collaborative Research and Development (CR&D) (this strand)
• Launchpad: marine and maritime, Great South West - Round 1 Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA)
• Launchpad: Great South West - Cluster Management

It is your responsibility to ensure you submit your application to the correct strand for your project. You will not be able to transfer your application and it will not be sent for assessment if it is out of scope.
