About this grant

Funded innovation support for South Yorkshire businesses rather than a cash grant: academic consultancy, technical projects, academic-led innovation audits, discovery days, student projects and placements, and access to university equipment and facilities, plus funded support to deploy existing or off-the-shelf innovation solutions. Delivered by Sheffield Hallam University, the University of Sheffield and Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council with backing from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority. The page carries a February 2026 programme update and remains open for applications.
