This guide is designed to help entrepreneurs, start-ups, SMEs and growing companies innovating in the maritime industry or thinking of applying their innovations to solve maritime problems, make the right funding choices.

Insights and knowledge from maritime specialists have been collated to create this single reference point for maritime innovation funding. Technical and industry experts involved in the work include Connected Places Catapult’s SME Innovation Support team, investors and sector leaders recognised in the maritime ecosystem. 

This guide’s aim is to give as complete a view as possible of the sources of innovation support by critically reviewing more well-known ones, such as Innovate UK grants, along with less known or often overlooked opportunities, such as alternative finance and tax incentives.
