Kore Labs is in a (rapid) scale-up phase with a multi-faceted funding strategy including private equity, innovation grants, innovation loans and re-investment of revenues. 

The Innovate UK Smart Grant is a quarterly R&D grant fund that offers between £25k and £2m to the most innovative SMEs for the development of novel technologies. Make no mistake – winning an Innovate UK Smart Grant is not a given – competition is high with average success rates under 10%. Grant funding of up to £2m can be awarded for the development of novel processes, products and/or services through IUK Smart Grants.

The ambitious team at Kore have secured £500k in R&D grant funding through the Smart Grant Programme to further their work on developing a global taxonomy for the financial services sector.
