Each Launchpad region benefits from various forms of support such as funding for research and development, opportunities for networking and collaboration, and access to innovation specialists including Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs).

There are nine Launchpad competitions currently running, which you can see details of here.

Don't be put off by the fact the Launchpads are in other regions of the UK, these are national competitions that are open to any business.

The projects themselves will need to be deployed in the Launchpad regions, but Buckinghamshire businesses can apply for funding to deliver those projects.

Below are the themes under which projects will need to fall:

• Net zero industry
• Digital technologies
• Health technologies
• Bio-based manufacturing
• Health and life sciences
• Immersive & creative industries
• Agri-tech and food technology
• Marine and maritime
• Agri-food
