Supporting Brain in Hand to grow with contracts for innovation.
Also known as ‘Innovation Procurement’ or “Small Business Research Initiative’ (SBRI), Contracts for Innovation are effectively the public sector procurement of innovation solutions from SMEs.
Typically, a public sector organisation, in this case the NHS, works with a funding body, in this case Innovate UK, to specify a particular problem and then invites SMEs in the private sector to apply to solve the problem. In general, applications come from SMEs with a close-to-market solution that just needs optimising for a specific domain or workflow.
Together We Solve
Our team has been supporting Brain In Hand over many years with grant applications and strategic advice. In this case, Venturenomix was engaged to develop and submit the full applications to SBRI. We:
- Supported the process of grant due diligence
- Managed the grant application project
- Onboarded and managed partners
- Developed a compelling application
