Request
Request Received: 15 September 2023
I'm writing to ask about which grants are available to support innovation in West Yorkshire, in particular in Wakefield area.
In the levelling up plan, the government announced R&D investment in regions outside the south east. This funds would be available to Innovate UK, and other institutions, under the current financial review period.
However, I cannot find any grant available for the few biotech companies that exist in West Yorkshire. So, where is the money going?
How much money has been made available for this region and how is it being distributed? Is it going to SME or universities?
Therefore, I am making a freedom of information request to ask the budget allocated for West Yorkshire for the financial year 2023/2024.
