The innovation vouchers of £3,000 (mini grant) or £10,000 (matched by the company in cash or kind) provide a low risk entry point for engaging with a University on a strategic research development project. Small and medium size businesses are targeted for this scheme, especially those who have not worked with academics or consultants before.
