Innovation@Leeds

Leeds City Council, through Innovation@Leeds, is excited to announce the launch of its 2024/25 revenue grants programme. This is the fourth in a series of grant schemes designed to support the Council’s vision for innovation, aligned with its Inclusive Growth Strategy, which aims to foster economic growth that benefits all.

Leeds-registered small and microbusinesses can apply for grants ranging from £15,000 to £25,000, sourced from a £175,000 funding pool. The grants are intended to fund knowledge-sharing projects that will – through the provision of advice, guidance, mentoring or training – encourage world-class innovative thinking and activity by the city’s businesses.
