R&D Grant Funding by Sector

Innovation looks different in every industry, and grant assessors evaluate projects through sector-specific lenses.

Priority sectors for grant funding are set based on government-level policy, that filters down through various strategies and ultimately into tangible funding calls.

For example, the current priorities for UK R&D grant funding calls can be derived from the Industrial strategy. Likewise, European grant funding priorities by sector (or topic) are informed by EU strategies including: The European Green Deal, Europe Fit for a Digital Era, European Economic Security Strategy, New European Bauhaus, EU Biodiversity Strategy and EU Missions.

Here we present the major sectors and topics currently prioritised for grant funding from the UK and Europe through their major funding mechanisms including UKRI, Innovate UK, SBRI, Horizon Europe, EUREKA, Digital Europe, LIFE Programme, and more.

“Our team has had incredible success in securing Innovate UK grant funding over the last few years – we targeted specific thematic calls which served us very well. We hadn’t managed to replicate that success in the Innovate UK Smart Grant – Venturenomix has brought the missing ingredients and now we have our first successful Smart Grant application. The next 12 months promises to be very exciting!”
