A short guidebook for Innovate UK Competition Applicants
The Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) has produced a short guide to help businesses understand what an assessor for Innovate UK competitions is looking for.
All of the Innovate UK funding programmes follow a similar pattern and companies should bear in mind that the questions are designed to help rather than trip you up. It is important that you answer the questions asked and cover all aspects the Guidance for Applicants describes.
You should try to use the language they are looking for: the easier you make it for the assessor to understand and check off the information they seek, the more likely the proposal will score highly.
The guidance that follows is for the standard 10 questions in a SMART Proof of Concept or Development of Prototype application - Business Opportunity, The Market, Exploitation, Benefits, Project Plan, Innovation, Risks, Skills/ Project Consortium, Finances & Additionality.
It should be noted that this same approach is largely transferable to all competitions.
