Funding for infrastructure

Share of £15m grant available

UK businesses and research organisations can apply for a share of £15 million to develop innovative infrastructure solutions.

Innovate UK will invest in projects that stimulate innovation in infrastructure systems that provide critical services for the economy, environment and society, and create growth for UK businesses.

There is up to £5 million for projects that last between 3 and 12 months. Up to £10 million is available for projects that last up to 3 years, with costs between £100,000 and £5 million inclusive.

You can also apply into a Knowledge Transfer Partnership in infrastructure systems if you’d like to work with a recent graduate.

Infrastructure systems are the backbone of:

  • economic stability
  • growth
  • competitiveness
  • productivity

They are vital for social wellbeing and environmental sustainability; especially so when you consider the growing number of people, particularly in urban areas, who rely on these systems.

There is £425 billion of planned public and private infrastructure investment in the UK to meet the challenges and make the most of our world-leading capabilities in this area.

This includes infrastructure solutions in:

  • planning
  • engineering
  • architecture
  • energy
  • the intelligent mobility of people and freight
  • communications
