Innovate UK’s Scaleup Programme is designed for the most outstanding scaling businesses that are disrupting their industries, capable of internationalisation and growing fast.
Delivering growth at scale is at the heart of Innovate UK’s emerging strategy for business innovation in the UK. Innovate UK Business Growth is a key enabler of this strategic priority and through the Scaleup Programme, helps the highest potential businesses realise their ambitions. Innovate UK’s bespoke, scaleup director-led support helps to address the key scaleup challenges, including access to markets of the future, access to connections and resources and attracting growth capital. The most outstanding scaling businesses that are disrupting their industries, capable of internationalisation and achieving over 50% growth p.a. are invited to join the Scaleup Programme for enhanced support.
How does it work?
Innovate UK’s highly regarded Scaleup Programme provides one-to-one, bespoke and funded support centred around innovative scaleups’ specific needs. It is available to those scaleup companies achieving, or with the potential for, 50% compound annual growth rates (CAGR) and over.
Participants are assigned a Scaleup Director who works with them as their designated single point of contact, to identify key scale up challenges and enablers that the collective resources, skills and connectivity of a ‘Scaleup Board’ can address. The Scaleup Directors on this Board provide a matrix of skills and connectivity across domains such as finance, M&A, international markets, IP, supply chains, scale up leadership and talent management. A high level Strategic Advisory Board in turn provides another layer of connectivity and access to resources.
