Tech Welcome

Tech Welcome Grant

Funds tech and digital businesses taking workspace in South Yorkshire with grants toward accommodation costs.

Eligibility · Tech and digital businesses based in, moving to, or taking first physical office space in Doncaster or South Yorkshire.

The Tech Welcome Grant is a South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority funded grant for technology and digital businesses that want a physical base in South Yorkshire. Business Doncaster describes the scheme as covering accommodation costs for up to a twelve-month period, with the Doncaster route open both to businesses already in Doncaster or South Yorkshire and to startups that want to relocate to Doncaster and create jobs in the region.

Awards are stated as grants between GBP 5,000 and GBP 10,000. The source does not state a total programme budget, award count, required match funding, or a fixed closing date, so those fields are left blank. The page presents the route as currently open by saying applicants can apply online through the Enterprising Barnsley Grant Portal via The Seam.

The company path is direct: the page refers to new and existing businesses, including startups, and specifically to tech businesses based in Doncaster and South Yorkshire or wanting to relocate there. A founder should be ready to show that the business is technology or digital, that it needs workspace or accommodation support, and that the move or first office will create jobs in the region.

The public page gives only a short application description. It points applicants to an online portal and a downloadable leaflet, but the scraped source does not state scoring weights, decision timing, required match, or a detailed document checklist. Treat the portal application as the controlling source and ask the local business support team for current evidence requirements before budgeting around the grant.
