Grant for R&D

Why is R&D important for business success?

If your business is serious about growing market share, you should be investing in research and development (R&D).  

Now, more than ever, businesses need to differentiate themselves or risk an uncertain future due to shorter product life cycles, intensifying competition and increasingly sophisticated customers.

Innovative products, services and processes can help increase sales, improve profits and maximise operational efficiencies.  Invest NI can help your business become more innovative and competitive by offering a range of financial and advisory R&D support through a single gateway, the Grant for R&D.  

We have simplified the process to make it easier for your business to apply for R&D support.  Under the Grant for R&D you only need to submit a single application that covers the R&D continuum from industrial research through to experimental development.
