Lots of funding and exporting opportunities available now

Innovators can search Innovate UK’s live funding opportunities, and food and drink exporters can access a free digital service that connects them with international buyers.

Innovate UK funding

Search Innovate UK’s live funding page for the latest opportunities. This page is constantly updated with the latest funding available, so it’s worth bookmarking it and checking back every now and then. You can also search for non-Innovate UK funding too, so you may find other opportunities too. Just use the filter tool on the left-hand side of the page.

Before you apply for funding, read the guidance provided on the UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) website. Innovate UK is a part of UKRI and the guidance will apply to any funding you apply for from Innovate UK or another UKRI organisation.

England’s Finest – Food & Drink Buyers Network

A free digital service from the Department for International Trade aims to connect international buyers with UK sellers in the food and drink industry.

It is an online marketplace with a searchable database allowing registered users to initiate contact with suitable suppliers.

The free platform allows businesses to search and connect with top quality, international food and drink brands, helping build trusted, international relationships.
